Message

At Pinilla & Pinilla Law Firm, I advise businesses and startups on commercial matters, data protection, and business formation. I’ve formulated and implemented privacy policies and data protection terms for technology corporations in the USA and Colombia, and I litigate civil, commercial, administrative, and criminal matters.

As an expert contributor to One Trust Data Guidance, I contribute to privacy and security regulatory research. At Milieu Consulting, I conducted an assessment comparing Colombian and EU data privacy regulations under GDPR standards. My interests include data privacy law, innovation, AI, and the intersection of law and technology.
