What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can drive analytical legal research and clear written advocacy, while using AI-enabled workflows for quality control and speed. I want complex civil, corporate, or administrative matters with strong reasoning standards.

I’m a senior Brazilian attorney with 13+ years of experience in complex civil, corporate, constitutional, and administrative law. As a former State Appellate Court law clerk, I’m recognized for high-level legal writing, jurisprudential research, and clear, structured analysis of complex legal questions.

My daily practice is analytical: I read dense material, break it into logical components, verify whether the claims hold, and write the reasoning back out clearly. I also provide quantitative provisioning of judicial liabilities by translating case portfolios into figures for corporate audit.

Since 02/2024, I’ve worked as an Independent Legal & Digital Consultant, offering selective legal advisory and project-based litigation support in complex civil and real estate matters. I also run AI-enabled digital projects using Remote generative-AI tools—building practical familiarity with how AI systems produce text and where expert review is required.
