Mr. Prats-Bayonet joined CCS in October 2025 as an associate attorney and is a member of the Litigation Department. Prior to joining CCS, Mr. Prats-Bayonet worked as junior counsel in Aerostar Airport Holdings, LLC, a P3 corporation at the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport, where he engaged in the reviewing and drafting contracts in-house.

Before being admitted to the Puerto Rico Bar, Mr. Prats-Bayonet interned as a law clerk for the Hon. Gustavo A. Gelpí, both during his tenure as Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico (during the Summer of 2021), and, presently, as a Circuit Judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit (during his last semester at law school). He also worked part-time with R.P.P. Law, P.S.C., gaining valuable insight into litigation case management.

While at the Interamerican University School of Law, Mr. Prats-Bayonet was part of the 56th Edition of the Interamerican University Law Review, where he authored Vaello-Madero: Putting on Hold Equal Rights for Territorial Citizens, 56 REV. JUR. UIPR 39-71 (2022), which delved into the history and recent cases the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled on regarding the rights of U.S. citizens living in U.S. territories. The article centered around the development and subsequent ruling of the case United States v. Vaello-Madero, 596 U.S. 159 (2022), which held that the Constitution does not require Congress to extend Supplementary Security Income (“SSI”) benefits to residents of Puerto Rico.
