Reliable and collaborative bilingual attorney and paralegal (English/Spanish) with regional (Latin America), multi-cultural background and many years of experience on corporate/commercial matters, currently residing in Miami, FL, and open to work remotely. I am familiar with working in multiple projects because of my background as outside counsel in law firms, but I also have experience working with internal company teams due to my work in in-house legal groups. My practice has included different areas such as corporate, banking and finance, corporate governance and M&A, with tasks including incorporation and corporate governance of branches and subsidiaries, drafting, reviewing and negotiating contracts and agreements, by-laws and powers-of-attorney, and providing support on day-to-day corporate/commercial matters. I work well with senior or junior personnel with a team-playing, organized and humble attitude, to support in achieving an organization’s goals and business objectives. I am authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship. I look forward to continuing to work in the legal area, with a global or regional focus.
