What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in a dynamic legal environment that fosters growth.

I am a detail-oriented and analytical lawyer with over 8 years of extensive expertise in Corporate Law, Civil Law, and Administrative Law. My career has been marked by a proven track record in conflict resolution and negotiation, where I have successfully handled complex legal matters and delivered effective solutions for my clients.

Throughout my professional journey, I have held various roles, including Senior Legal Advisor and Commercial Lawyer, where I negotiated and drafted franchise agreements, construction agreements, and managed trademark registrations. My experience also includes administering private trust contracts and providing comprehensive notarial services, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and mitigating operational risks for high-value clients.

With a Master’s Degree in Business Law and a Bachelor of Science and Letters, I am committed to continuous professional development and delivering exceptional legal services. I thrive in environments that challenge my skills and allow me to contribute to meaningful legal solutions.
