Since 2017, she has been a partner at Augusta Abogados, where she has advised on all types of labour law matters, both in national and international companies. She has solid experience in litigation before the Social Jurisdiction, restructuring processes, collective bargaining and strategic labour advice.
María José Sánchez holds a Law degree from the Universidad de Sevilla, with specialisation studies in EU Law at the University of Pau (France). She also holds a Master’s degree in Corporate Legal Consultancy from the Instituto de Empresa and an Executive MBA from ESADE.
In the academic field, she is a collaborating lecturer at the Centro de Estudios Financieros (CEF) in Barcelona and has contributed to various publications and conferences on Labour Law issues. She is a member of the main national and international labour law associations.
