Joan essentially focuses his practice on arbitration and sports law, both at the national and international level. He participates in proceedings before all manners of sports arbitration courts and federative institutions, most commonly in proceedings before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (TAS-CAS) in Lausanne, as well as in disciplinary procedures before UEFA, FIFA, and other bodies. Moreover, he advises athletes and sporting entities in different areas of the law in addition to sports law (including civil, administrative, and commercial law).

There, he mainly advised domestic and foreign companies and public institutions on projects related to investment, infrastructure, acquisitions of public assets, and contracts in regulated sectors.
