He graduated as a lawyer in 2013, having gained early professional experience as a paralegal at a Buenos Aires law firm, where he assisted in procedural matters related to commercial law. He then joined the litigation team of one of Argentina’s leading law firms, managing civil liability claims. In 2016, he began working alongside Martín Argañaraz Luque—now a partner at DACB Buenos Aires—developing his expertise in insurance law and advising both domestic and international re/insurers.

From 2019 to 2025, he worked at a globally renowned recovery firm, advancing from Senior Claims Handler to a strategic role coordinating global cargo inspections and coverage analysis for clients across LATAM, South Africa, and the Middle East. In 2022, he was certified as a cargo insurance underwriter by the Latin American Association of Marine Underwriters. In his final years at the firm, he focused on portfolio analysis to identify litigation finance and case acquisition opportunities.

His extensive experience in insurance, particularly in maritime and aviation law, led him back to DACB, where he now works under Martín’s leadership to further develop the practice locally and regionally.

Featured experience:

• During his time as a Senior Claims Handler at his former employer, he successfully managed a portfolio of over 300 recovery cases involving maritime, aviation, and land transport claims against major carriers, consistently delivering efficient and cost-effective results for global re/insurers.
• He has experience handling complex general average cases, presenting legal arguments to prevent contribution payments on behalf of re/insurers and safeguarding their financial interests.
• Prior to joining DACB, he developed and led the claims coordination practice from the ground up, overseeing global cargo inspections, adjusting losses in line with policy terms, and pursuing recoveries from liable third parties.
• He represented a London-based reinsurer in civil liability claims arising from an aviation incident in Argentina (2024), conducting both liability and hull & machinery coverage analysis. He led successful negotiations with third-party claimants, preventing escalation into litigation.
