Profile

The Cidian blood that runs through his veins makes Roberto a thoroughbred litigator, who combines a high technical level, which is also the result of his teaching experience, with his passion for litigation. When he goes to court, he doesn’t just go through the motions, he puts on his war paint.

His time at Clifford Chance and his liaison with international clients has enabled him to handle very different scenarios with ease, and to intervene before all types of courts and tribunals.

He was educated at Universidad de Valladolid, where he obtained his PhD degree after studying at Universitá di Giurisprudenza di Bologna and the Max-Planck-Institute in Freiburg.
