Maribel del Valle
@maribeldelvalle
Experienced lawyer specializing in infrastructure and construction law.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated lawyer with a Master's degree in Commercial and Business Law from Universidad de Buenos Aires and a law degree from Universidad de los Andes. My extensive experience in infrastructure, road concessions, and construction projects has equipped me with strong negotiation and contractual skills. I have a proven track record of leading legal departments and ensuring compliance with high standards in all my work.
Throughout my career, I have held significant positions, including Legal Director at China Harbour Engineering Company Limited, where I led the legal department for the Autopista al Mar 2 project. My role involved direct participation in decision-making processes and managing claims against insurance companies, resulting in substantial indemnization. My experience also includes serving as a Litigation Senior Associate at Dentons Cárdenas y Cárdenas, where I honed my skills in international arbitration and client negotiation.
I am passionate about delivering exceptional legal services and fostering collaboration between legal and operational teams. My commitment to excellence and my ability to navigate complex legal landscapes make me a valuable asset to any organization.
