Jorge is, since 2009, a partner of the Tax Law Department, which he joined in the year 2000.
He has great expertise and extensive experience in resolving complex legal problems, in managing legal and tax risks, and in defending his clients in procedures and litigation against the Administration. At the same time, Jorge is one of the most renowned specialists at Garrigues in (re)insurance law. This know-how is valued by his clients and colleagues, which has allowed him to obtain the recognition of Best Lawyer year after year, both in the Tax and Insurance categories.
This capacity is based on a solid legal education, first by obtaining a Law Degree and a Diploma in Business Sciences from ICADE (E-1), the preparation of oppositions to the body of State Lawyers and a Master's Degree in Business Law by the University of Navarra (Cum Laude mention); and then, continuously throughout his professional career, in different matters related to his activity.
Experience
Jorge joined Garrigues in 2000 from another top-level professional firm, which he joined after passing through some individual firms, after becoming a member of the ICAM in 1994.
He became a partner in the Tax Law Department in 2009, after having served as Principal Associate since 2003 and as Senior Associate since 2001.
Since the beginning of his career, his professional activity has been linked to the financial sector and, notably, for many years, to the (re)insurance sector, in which he is a renowned specialist.
Because of this sectorial or industrial experience and his multidisciplinary training, both legal and in the field of business, Jorge has been reconciling in a solvent and rigorous manner advice on business law -very particularly in the contractual field - with advice on public or semi-public law, especially highlighting his performance in tax law and regulatory law of the (re)insurance activity.
In this field, Jorge has a long and successful performance (from the perspective of customer satisfaction) in all kinds of jobs and assignments: from the negotiation of M&A or JV operations to the design of insurance products; from advising interest groups to achieve their objectives before public bodies to the execution of corporate reorganizations; or from advice for obtaining administrative authorizations to the configuration and negotiation of (re)insurance contracts; going, of course, through the preparation of notes, reports and legal opinions on highly complex legal matters or that require the combination of knowledge from different branches of Law, or assistance to its clients in the definition, implementation and execution of the best strategies for managing the legal and tax risks to which they are exposed in the development of their activity.
Apart from the above, it is worth mentioning specifically Jorge's proven ability and experience when it comes to advising, assisting, and safeguarding the rights and interests of his clients against the Administration in administrative (tax and supervisory) procedures and judicial processes before the Courts of the contentious-administrative order.
This variety of knowledge and experiences makes him a rara avis, a quality that is highly valued by clients, as it allows them to maintain a top-level unique dialogue with the firm.
