@sofiapessoakarnakis
Junior lawyer and international law student focused on ESG, corporate sustainability, and governance.
What I'm looking for
I’m a junior legal professional and law student building a structured legal and analytical approach to global challenges, with a strong interest in sustainability—especially corporate sustainability, ESG, and the role of governance in addressing climate, environmental, and human rights challenges.
In my recent experience at Eureka Abogados Legal Firm, I supported case management across civil, family, company, tax, and alien status law, handled client portfolios and lawsuits, and assisted with compliance through preparation and submission of official administrative formularies. I’m motivated to grow in an international environment through analytical and sustainability-focused work.
