I have been appointed as an arbitrator by the Tribunal Arbitral de Barcelona in various disputes regarding transactions between companies.

    I combine my professional activity with teaching and since 1999 have been an associate lecturer in the Law Department of ESADE and also at Instituto Superior de Derecho y Economía (ISDE). I codirect a Postgraduate Course in Compliance at Universities Pompeu Fabra and Carlos III. I am a regular speaker at conferences on legal matters and a member of the editorial board of the monthly publication, Economist & Iurist.

    I am a member of AENOR’s SC1 working group and also of the ISO/PC 271 and 278 groups, which are currently preparing the international ISO standards in relation to Compliance Management Systems and Anti-Bribery Management Systems.
