I have also provided consulting services on Brazilian law and WTO law to companies and foreign states, with a focus on data protection and regulatory risk. Versatile and adaptable, I work effectively both within large teams and as an ad hoc contributor. Recognized by colleagues for reliability, discipline, and composure under pressure.
