What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can blend international legal expertise and compliance, support cross-border mobility and ethical governance, and contribute to fair, community-centered solutions with a collaborative team.

I’m a Brazilian lawyer currently based in Japan, combining international law training with hands-on compliance, legal research, and cross-cultural community engagement. My experience spans audits of labor, contractual, financial, occupational safety, and environmental documentation, plus guidance on regulatory and documentation compliance for institutional and supplier stakeholders.

I also bring strong legal and community impact through mediation-focused academic extension work and research in cultural heritage law, including publications on cultural heritage and digital assets. In addition, I’m actively volunteering in an advisory council to support integration and access to essential services for the Brazilian community in Japan, while pursuing complementary training in international family law and transnational legal matters.
