MARÍA GRACIA RUBIO DE CASAS
Founding partner
My professional career started in the law firm Pérez Llorca and later I joined the Legal Division of the Spanish financial supervisor, CNMV. Later I created a firm specialized in financial regulation, which in 2001 was integrated into Baker & McKenzie, where I led the financial services regulation practice for 15 years. I collaborated with the European Commission, advising it on the reform of securities markets regulation and between 2001 and 2012 I was a member of the Legal and Tax Committee of the European Venture Capital Association (EVCA) and of the Legal and Tax Committee of the Spanish Venture Capital Association (ASCRI).
In 2015 I founded Rubio de Casas to return to my professional activity from my own office. I am Secretary of the Association of Spanish Crowding Platforms (ACLE) and independent director of JB Capital Markets, S.A., Sociedad de Valores and AYG Banca Privada. I like reading, listening to music and walking, better if with a dog.
