About Emilio

Legal professional specializing in regulatory compliance, anti-money laundering (AML/CFT), and comprehensive legal advisory for technology and fintech companies. With experience in regulated environments such as crypto-assets and legaltech, I offer freelance legal services tailored to the real needs of startups, SMEs, and multinational corporations.

I have actively participated in the development and legal validation of modular compliance software solutions, the implementation of whistleblowing channels in accordance with Law 2/2023, and support in ISO 27001 certification processes from a legal perspective. I have a strong command of European legislation (MiCA, GDPR, AMLD5, Whistleblower Directive) and its practical application in digital environments.

My approach is based on prevention, legal clarity, and regulatory adherence as a competitive advantage. I offer flexible, personalized legal services using clear language for non-legal teams.

Main freelance services:

External legal advice on criminal compliance, AML/CFT, and ESG.

Drafting and review of contracts, terms, and legal policies.

Implementation of compliance models.

Development and implementation of corporate risk analysis methodologies.

Legal training on corporate ethics, corporate criminal liability, and compliance culture.

I provide effective legal solutions, adapted to each organization and sector, with a preventive approach and clear language for multidisciplinary teams.
