Lawyer - Counsel

  1. How would you define yourself in your work?

With clients and matters I consider myself responsible and dedicated. I devote myself 100% to each issue. On a daily basis with my colleagues, I consider myself cheerful, transparent and spontaneous.

 

  1. What do you like most about your job?

What I like most is dealing with the client. I like to listen to their problem -with which I always empathize- and help them to solve it in the best possible way.

 

  1. What do you like most about your area/subject?

Being dedicated to family law, with a clear specialization in divorces (national and international), clients often come to see me at a difficult time in their lives with many concerns about their immediate future. I like to see that, after a first meeting, I am able to reassure them and provide answers to the logical questions that arise for anyone initiating - oreventually considering initiating- divorce proceedings. I like to design fair solutions for the parties, and, as far as possible, I am in favor of a divorce by mutual agreement, squeezing the most out of the negotiations. Of course, if the agreement proves impossible, I firmly defend my client's interests before the Courts of Justice.

 

  1. What do you think customers value most about you?

From what I have been told during almost 20 years of practice, my closeness and empathy and also my speed and immediacy in responding to the queries that I am asked.

 

  1. What are your hobbies during the week and during the weekend?

During the week it feels great to go for a run first thing in the morning (I set my alarm for 6.30!), to start the day with energy and a clear mind. In the afternoons, when I leave the office, it makes me happy to come home to be with my 3 children or to pick them up from their extracurricular activities and let them tell me how their day went. I always start my weekends with a good dinner and a glass of wine with my husband. I love to watch the sea. It always relaxes me. I also enjoy a lot in Cerdanya and Empordà with family and friends. And taking a plane and getting lost in any city is probably my favorite thing in the world. ....
