About

I am a Colombian licensed attorney with an LL.M. in Business and Finance Law from The George Washington University. I bring 5 years of legal experience from both the public and private sector, having worked for a Colombian government agency in contractual and administrative law matters and for a Colombian company participating in the World Expo held in the United Arab Emirates (Expo 2020 Dubai), successfully establishing business operations and handling contractual matters for the length of the event. I've also represented and advised private clients in Civil, Commercial and Constitutional law matters. During my graduate studies, I focused on International Commercial and Investment Arbitration, International Business Transactions and Corporate Law. I actively participated in student organizations, served as LL.M. Representative for the GW Latin American Law Student Association, and completed an internship with the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC). I speak Spanish, English, and Portuguese.
