International trade lawyer driving cross-border compliance and contract strategy.
GermanyWhat I'm looking for
I am an international trade lawyer with extensive experience advising on cross-border transactions, import/export regulations, and complex contract negotiation. I have led legal strategy at a multidisciplinary law firm and currently provide strategic legal counsel for international commerce.
My career includes leading as CEO of a law firm, senior in-house litigation and transactional roles, and public-sector legal advisory work focused on social programs. I combine hands-on contract drafting, regulatory monitoring, and due diligence to reduce risk and ensure compliance across jurisdictions.
I hold a Master's in Anthropology and a Bachelor of Laws, and I work fluently in Spanish and English, with intermediate Portuguese and basic German. I seek roles where I can apply international trade expertise to help organizations expand responsibly into new markets.
