Fernando Aparicio

My professional and academic interest has always focused on the convergence between the practical application of technology to the business world and its difficult coexistence with the legal world. I consider myself a hybrid, due to training and professional experience, between the two worlds and I am passionate about how dependent and, paradoxically, contrasting are the two areas in which I have mainly developed my professional career.
