His practice has extended to other areas of law as his relationship with long-standing clients has evolved to become a trusted advisor in many other areas of business law, including advising on relevant issues at general counsel (GC) and board level. His corporate and litigation experience, coupled with his tax and real estate knowledge, helps him understand global client issues, which he scopes to find the appropriate resources and solutions for clients.

Ignacio’s expertise focuses on contractual issues and senior executive relations including noncompetition and confidentiality covenants; severance and termination agreements; constitutional fundamental rights; discrimination, retaliation, wage and hour laws, employee privacy and employer monitoring of information technology data; and geographical and functional mobility. He also counsels clients with an international perspective on employment policies and procedures and provides direct support for a full range of corporate issues including reorganizations, TUPE, mergers and acquisitions, data protection and immigration issues.

In addition, Ignacio has extensive experience with collective bargaining agreements, worker representation election processes and union issues, grievance and arbitration procedures and strike activities. He is an experienced advocate on labor, social security and health and safety matters in Spanish labor courts and tribunals including the Spanish Supreme Court and the Spanish Constitutional Court.
