She participates on behalf of the firm advising the most important forum of businesses whose workforce is significantly subject to international mobility (Foro Español de Expatriación (FEEX)). She is author of several publications on immigration law, and most recently co-authored the immigration chapter of the technical book 1000 preguntas sobre Expatriación, published by Francis Lefevbre in 2014. She has also been appointed as representative of the firm to participate at the Informal Expert Group on Economic Migration at the European Commission.
