    Biography

    Gonzalo has over five years of experience in constitutional litigation and advisory, legal entities, arbitration and university regulation.

    He actively participates in the defense of clients before the Judicial Authorities and the Constitutional Court in all types of constitutional processes (especially the writ of amparo process), as well as in contentious-administrative processes and arbitration proceedings.

    He also has extensive experience in educational regulation, especially concerning universities, schools, institutes and colleges.                     

    Gonzalo integrates interdisciplinary teams that require a constitutional and procedural constitutional perspective, especially in matters of Administrative Law, Corporate Law and Public International Law.

    Practice focus

    Gonzalo focuses his professional practice on constitutional law and human rights, with experience in advisory and litigation (with special emphasis on writs of amparo processes in all its forms: against judicial resolutions, against self-applicable norms, among others).

    He actively participates in Pro Bono Cases, from advice and consultancy in matters of legal entities (establishment of associations), to complex litigation before the Judicial Authorities.

    As part of his experience in educational regulation, he manages internal issues such as the operation and development of the legal entity, as well as procedures before the SUNEDU, the MINEDU and the Public Registries Office.
