Xavier heads RocaJunyent’s Banking and Finance practice, as well as the Fintech and Blockchain Group. He is one of the pioneering lawyers in Spain to specialise in these sectors.

He also has experience in advising on investment rounds and shareholders’ agreements, as well as in M&A and due diligence processes for fintech companies.

Likewise, he is a regular speaker at industry conferences on financial topics and works closely with the startup community, venture capitalists and accelerators within the fintech ecosystem.
