What I'm looking for
I am a lawyer with four years of professional experience across several practice areas, including Labor Law, Social Security, Public Procurement, Administrative Law, Family Law, and Police Law, with a specialization in Labor Law and Social Security. Since the beginning of my career, I have worked closely on client service, problem-solving, and case management, using active listening and critical thinking to provide sound legal guidance based on current regulations. I am proficient in Microsoft Office tools and document management, and skilled at drafting and reviewing contracts. I am passionate about contractual relationships and stay up to date with legal regulations to maintain a fair balance between contractors and contracting parties. I just finished an exchange program in the United States to improve my English skills and develop technical abilities; I’m currently including the use of AI tools and task management platforms such as Trello.
