Guevara read for a Bachelor of Laws (Hons) at Kent Law School (KLS), where he was an active member of the Law School community. During his studies, he served as President of the Kent Student Law Society (KSLS), acted as a student mentor, and represented students on the Teaching and Learning Committee. On graduation, he was awarded the Antony London Prize in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the Law School.
He continued to contribute to KLS as an alumnus, including judging moots and advocacy competitions and supporting the School’s careers and employability initiatives. This has included mentoring students and delivering an annual lecture on accessing scholarships for study at the Bar. Guevara completed a Master’s degree in Corporate and Insolvency Law at Nottingham Law School in 2021.
Guevara brings to academia extensive practical legal experience. He has worked across the breadth of criminal practice, acting for individuals and corporate clients in matters involving fraud, burglary, theft, extradition, bribery and corruption, and proceedings under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. In 2018, he was a member of the legal team representing a FTSE 100 company prosecuted by the Serious Fraud Office for fraud and false accounting offences.
In addition to his criminal practice experience, Guevara has significant expertise in private law, particularly in divorce and inheritance matters, in which he is regularly instructed. He also has a developing interest in data protection, privacy, and cybersecurity law, with a particular focus on the regulation of data flows between the UK and the European Union in the post-Brexit context and the ongoing application of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Guevara was called to the Bar of England and Wales by the Honourable Society of Lincoln’s Inn in 2017. He is also a practising Barrister and Solicitor of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court; a common law jurisdiction closely aligned with the legal system of England and Wales.
Outside academia and practice, Guevara enjoys cycling, weightlifting, and baking (particularly rich fruit cakes)
Guevara’s scholarship engages critically with private law, with particular emphasis on inheritance, succession, estate planning, trusts, and the jurisdiction of equity. His work situates doctrinal analysis within broader socio-legal, normative, and distributive frameworks, exploring how private law structures shape and are shaped by questions of power, wealth, and access to justice.
Alongside this doctrinal focus, Guevara has a strong scholarly interest in legal pedagogy, particularly experiential approaches to teaching private law. Over the next three years, he will pursue a scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) project examining the design and implementation of experiential teaching in private law modules. The project aims to develop a coherent and transferable model of private law teaching that renders complex and traditionally dense subject matter more accessible, engaging, and student-centred, without sacrificing intellectual rigour.
