One of his key achievements has been strengthening the prosecution of intellectual property crimes in Mexico, enabling clients to obtain fair compensation for damages.

Uribe holds a Law degree and a Master of Laws (LL.M.) with honors from Universidad Panamericana and is currently a doctoral candidate. He is also a Professor of Criminal Law at Universidad Panamericana, where he has taught since 2013.
