Biography

For over 20 years at Garrigues, I have guided multinational corporations and premier real estate funds through the complexities of Spanish and international tax law. My focus is on transforming intricate regulatory challenges into clear, commercially-driven strategies that enable my clients to achieve their most ambitious investment and transactional goals.

As a Partner in the Tax Department and a key member of the Real Estate industry group, my practice is built on providing decisive, forward-looking counsel. Whether structuring a multi-jurisdictional acquisition, conducting rigorous tax due diligence for a landmark property portfolio, or resolving a contentious dispute with tax authorities, I function as a strategic partner to my clients, safeguarding their interests and optimizing their financial outcomes. I am honored to be consistently recognized by Chambers & Partners and Legal 500 for my work in Spanish tax law.

My core areas of expertise include:

– International Tax Investment Structuring
– Real Estate Tax (Acquisitions, Dispositions, Development & ‘Build to Rent’)
– Corporate Reorganizations and M&A Tax Strategy
– Tax Due Diligence Reporting
– Tax Litigation & Dispute Resolution with the Spanish Tax Agency (AEAT)
– Stamp Duty (AJD), Property Tax, and Municipal Capital Gains Tax

I am passionate about advancing our field and have the privilege of serving as a Professor for the Real Estate Management Program at IE Business School, where I teach on current tax matters. I also contribute regularly to publications on emerging tax issues facing the real estate sector.

Outside of the office, I find that the discipline and long-term strategic thinking required to train for and run marathons provides a valuable perspective that I bring to my client work.

I welcome the opportunity to connect with business leaders, in-house counsel, and fellow legal professionals. Please feel free to connect with me here on LinkedIn or contact me directly via my Garrigues profile for professional inquiries.
