A lawyer shaped by three jurisdictions and one global question.

I am a Corporate and Commercial Real Estate lawyer with more than a decade of experience across Brazil, the United States, and Canada, including over three years in the startup and tech sector at Duolingo.

My career began in procedural and administrative law, including a judicial clerkship at the Roraima Court of Appeal, where I gained technical expertise in Real Estate Registry and Public Notary offices. I shared that knowledge as a university lecturer in business law, and that foundation in property registration, fraud detection, and contract analysis still shapes my practice today.

In Canada, I have applied this experience at Atasoy Law, the Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee, and currently at Northview Law. I support corporate and commercial real estate files, and have appeared before the Landlord and Tenant Board and Small Claims Court, conducted research in charities law and international estate litigation, and prepared firm marketing materials, trainings, and a podcast.

Earlier in my career, I had a short stint assisting with high-stakes state law matters in Arizona, including a capital punishment case, an experience that crystallized my belief that legal practice deserves both technical rigor and human context.

Beyond practice, I founded Studying Law Around the World, a global legal podcast with 150+ episodes featuring guests from 14 countries. I also completed the 75 Lawyers Project, interviewing 75 senior lawyers across Canada to support early-career professionals and celebrate U of T Law's 75th anniversary.

I am also a researcher, a father, and a curious person with many other interests. My research explores comparative legal systems, international legal mobility, professional regulation, legal storytelling, legal technology, and the role of communication in shaping the future of the profession.
