- I hold law degrees from Spain, the United States, and Italy. I am an Emeritus Professor of Law at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. From 2008, I was also a partner at Uría Menéndez, one of Spain’s leading law firms . There, I led the international arbitration practice and served as counsel and arbitrator in numerous international commercial and investment arbitration proceedings. In 2020, I set up my own arbitration practice, and I now act as an independent arbitrator in international disputes (www.virgosarbitration.com).
