About Me

Brazilian-qualified lawyer with 8+ years of experience in civil, family and corporate law, currently based in Limerick, Ireland. I manage an active caseload remotely from Europe, with hands-on expertise in legal research, contract drafting and review, case management, and client advisory. My background includes a placement at Brazil's Federal Public Defender's Office (DPU), where I worked on cases involving healthcare rights, immigration and discrimination — evaluated with MÉRITO, the highest performance rating. I am particularly well-suited for international companies and law firms that operate with Brazil, where native fluency in Brazilian Portuguese and deep knowledge of the Brazilian legal system are a genuine asset. Available for remote roles in: Legal Operations · Compliance · Contract Management · Paralegal · Document Review · Portuguese-language Legal Support.
