López Useros holds a degree in Law from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid and a Master’s degree in Business Legal Advice from IE Law School. He began to practice law at Phm Abogados. Since his incorporation to B. Cremades y Asociados he has been focused on international commercial, investment, institutional and “ad hoc” domestic arbitration.

He has also an extensive experience in civil, commercial, administrative and corporate law.

“We believe that José María’s experience in the area of arbitration is key for the firm, since it is the main area of development”, explained Bernardo Cremades Junior, partner of the firm. “Internal promotion is fundamental: you have to know how to retain talent and make it grow”, he added.
