About

A leading expert in the fields of media and audio-visual law, Carlos López Martín de Blas heads all legal activities of Secuoya Grupo. He started his career as a litigation lawyer but decided to change his career-path in 2002, after he was offered a scholarship by Telefónica. After a four year stint in another telecoms group, he moved to Secuoya, a group with a variety of activities and a special focus on content production for TV channels, in 2010. When he joined the company there was no legal department and his first responsibility was to improve the legal process. ‘I had to start all the legal organisation in the whole group. There was no culture of legal affairs in the company’ he says. After creating his team López Martín de Blas played a significant role in the company’s regional and international growth. During his time at Secuoya the company has had an exponential increase in its income from €15m to €130m, but rapid growth necessitates consistent legal advice and López Martín de Blas has been particularly praised for his leading role throughout the internationalisation of the company in 2012. Only three years later, the company has subsidiaries in the US, Chile, Colombia and offices in Peru.
