What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to apply my legal expertise while fostering my professional growth in compliance and risk management.

I am a highly motivated law graduate with a specialization in International Relations and International Dispute Resolution. My strong interest in compliance, risk management, Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and Know Your Customer (KYC) frameworks drives my professional journey. I have a proven ability to interpret regulatory requirements, conduct due diligence, and mitigate legal risks through my roles in corporate governance, legal research, and advisory support.

My experience includes drafting over 50 legal documents, conducting extensive legal research, and assisting in client consultations, all while ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. I am a multilingual communicator fluent in English, Portuguese, French, and Italian, which enhances my ability to liaise effectively with clients and colleagues. I am eager to apply my expertise in a challenging position that allows for professional growth and exploration of the impact of AI across various industries.
