Guillermo Íñiguez

Guillermo Íñiguez is a DPhil candidate in European Union Law at the University of Oxford and a member of Somerville College, working under the supervision of Professor Angus Johnston. His thesis explores the impact of democratic backsliding upon the operation of EU law, both in the area of freedom, security and justice (AFSJ) and in the internal market. His doctoral research is funded by Fundación Ramón Areces and was previously supported by Fundación Universitaria Oriol Urquijo.

Guillermo graduated with a First-Class Law degree from the University of Cambridge (Peterhouse) and holds an LL.M. in European Law from the London School of Economics, where he was once again funded by Fundación Ramón Areces. Following his graduation, he was a legal trainee in the cabinet of Judge Alexander Kornezov at the EU General Court.

His research interests span European Union law broadly understood, with a particular focus on constitutional law, internal market law, competition law, the AFSJ, and EU sports law. He teaches EU Law at Harris Manchester College and Roman Law at Somerville College, where he is a Retaining Fee Lecturer. He also co-convenes the faculty's EU Law Discussion Group.

Guillermo has published in the German Law Journal and in European Papers and writes for EU Law Live. He is also a regular contributor to some of Spain’s leading newspapers, where he writes on EU governance and on European and UK politics.
