Personal Introduction
I'm a Miami native, splitting my time between Miami, FL, and Washington, DC. Since graduating from the University of Chicago Law School in 2014, I've focused on complex cross-border disputes, with a special focus on Latin America. After nearly a decade of practice, most of it in AmLaw 100 firms, I established a boutique with two other attorneys, Gateway Litigation.
