Law Student | Passed the Brazilian Bar Exam (OAB) | Focus on Immigration & International Law | C2 English | Open to Remote International Opportunities
What I'm looking for
Final-year law student in Brazil, having already passed the second phase of the Brazilian Bar Exam (OAB). I bring hands-on legal experience gained in a court setting, such as working within a criminal court's chambers and registry, providing legal assistance to vulnerable populations, and conducting court-annexed mediation hearings. This experience has given me strong skills in deadline and case management, legal drafting, case screening and tracking, and direct client communication.
I am currently directing my professional development toward Immigration Law and International Law, with the goal of working with law firms or organizations in the United States or Europe. I hold C2-level English proficiency (EF SET certified), which allows me to operate fluently in international legal environments, both in client communication and in drafting technical documents.
I also bring prior experience in public sector administration, including a supervisory role (Head of Tax Collection and Enforcement Services), which reinforces my organizational skills, accountability, and professional autonomy.
I am based in Brazil and am seeking remote international opportunities as a Legal Intern or Paralegal in Immigration and International Law.
