Before becoming a full-time academician, Maximiliano practised as a lawyer, mediator, and industrial property consultant for almost two decades in Argentina, specialising in intellectual property disputes.

He has authored many works in the field of copyright law. Some of his recent publications are Incorporating exceptions and limitations to copyright law to incentivise the development of Artificial Intelligence in Latin America (Latin American Law Review, no. 9, Universidad de Los Andes, Bogotá, Colombia, 2022); Victor Hugo Betrayed: The Domain Public Payant as Intended in the 19th Century and as Implemented Today (Review of Economic Research on Copyright Issues, vol. 18, no. 1, pp. 56-80, 2021), Copyright Protection for Interior Design Projects (Gewerblicher Rechtsschutz und Urheberrecht, Internationaler Teil, vol. 70 no. 2, pp. 205-209, 2021); Paying for works in the public domain? The "domaine public payant" in the 21st century (Gewerblicher Rechtsschutz und Urheberrecht Internationaler Teil, vol. 64, no. 4, p. 343 et seq., 2019). His forthcoming publications comprise the following book chapters, River Plate Tango: a story of cultural appropriation, musical borrowings, and constant evolution (edited by Enrico Bonadio and Chen Zhu, "Music Genres, Borrowing and Copyright", Hart Publishing, 2023); Libraries and copyright law in the 21st century (edited by Enrico Bonadio and Cristiana Sappa, The Subjects of Literary and Artistic Copyright, Edward Elgar Publishing, pp. 182-205, 2023) and the country entry for Argentina in the Encyclopaedia of Intellectual Property Law (edited by Paul Torremans, Edward Elgar, forthcoming).

For the last three consecutive editions, he has coached the joint mediation team of the Law School of the Catholic University of Lille, School of Law, and IESEG School of Management, at the International Commercial Mediation Competition hosted by the International Chamber of Commerce. The team he coached in 2020 received the Special Award Distinction in their Relationship Building with the other Team. In 2022 he also coached a team of students from the same universities that participated in the first Investor-State Mediation Competition, organised by IIMC Colombo, in Sri Lanka. That team was also awarded a distinction. In 2020 he acted as a mediation session judge at the International Online Mediation Competition, organised by ADR-ODR International, in London.
