Miguel Ángel Malo

Miguel Ángel Malo holds a Ph. D in Comparative Law from Rey Juan Carlos University. He was awarded an Extraordinary Doctorate Award for his doctoral dissertation, in which he compared the remedies for breach of contract under Spanish Law, English Law, and the Draft Common Frame of Reference.

He has lectured on Private Comparative Law (Introduction to Private Law, Property Law, and Contracts) at IE University since 2017. He has also lectured in courses on dispute resolution, including Mediation, Litigation, and International Commercial Arbitration.

His academic research has involved studying the differences between Civil Law and Common Law systems, as well as the part of comparative soft law instruments such as the Unidroit Principles of International Commercial Contracts, the Principles of European Law, and the Draft Common Frame of Reference in shaping a future Global Law.

Miguel Ángel is a practicing Mediator accredited by CEDR and a Chartered Institute of Arbitrators member. He served as Of Counsel at Cuatrecasas until 2022, when he started his professional practice as an independent mediator and dispute resolution lawyer.
