Benedetta Bignotti
@benedettabignotti
I've supported legal, compliance, and corporate operations across Dubai’s legal and fintech environments.
What I'm looking for
I've supported legal and compliance work at Cryptocompliance.ai, drafting and reviewing legal documents, policies, and agreements while researching crypto, fintech, blockchain, cybersecurity, and compliance regulation.
At Afridi & Angell Dubai, I conducted legal research, assisted with contracts, memoranda, court documents, arbitration, and litigation preparation, and reviewed case files for supervising lawyers.
I've also led social media and events at Women In Mentoring, coordinated business and institutional events with the Italian Chamber of Commerce, and provided Italian-English translation and cultural mediation for the Campania Region at ATM Dubai.
I'm a First Class LLB Honours Law graduate from Middlesex University, bringing legal research, writing, multilingual communication, and cross-cultural experience shaped by education in Sri Lanka and the UAE.
