Profile
Robust opinions, easy to follow in court
I am an economist, expert witness and university lecturer specialising in forensic econometrics, economic damages valuation and the quantification of financial losses.
Since 1998 I have worked as an expert with law firms across Spain, for individuals, companies and institutions. I act in civil, criminal, administrative and arbitration proceedings, and I appear in court to ratify and defend my reports.
My work draws on hundreds of economic analyses and on a methodology of my own that I refine with every engagement. The result is technically robust opinions that a judge, an arbitrator or a lawyer can follow without effort.
I also prepare preliminary reports that estimate the order of magnitude of the economic damage, so that clients can make informed decisions before litigating.
Economic expert witness
Areas of expertise
Lost profits and consequential loss
Quantification of financial losses and compensation through counterfactual models grounded in empirical evidence.
Competition law
Cartel overcharges, volume effects, passing-on studies and unfair competition disputes.
Business and asset valuation
Economic valuation of companies, shareholdings and assets in contentious settings.
Breach of contract
Quantification of damages arising from breach and termination of contracts.
Quantitative finance
Modelling and simulation using real-time and historical market data.
Scientific methodology
Every report relies on methods accepted by the scientific literature and by national and international competition authorities, to isolate the effect of the disputed facts from any other factor. Conclusions rest on objective statistical criteria, with documented assumptions, robustness checks and sensitivity analysis.
- Difference-in-differences
- Synthetic control
- Instrumental variables
- Panel data
- Time series
- Causal inference
Technology and reproducibility
Every analysis is coded in scripts written for the case, which form the material basis of the calculation. The parties and the court can replicate, verify and review every figure in the report: reproducible, auditable reports that are more transparent and objective.
University teaching
Making complex ideas clear
Alongside my expert practice I teach econometrics, microeconometrics, derivatives, fixed income and quantitative finance at university. Teaching these subjects every year allows me to explain technical concepts to judges, arbitrators and lawyers in clear, precise language.
