Claudio Klaus is a Brazilian-trained lawyer whose practice spans three jurisdictions - Brazil, the United States, and Canada - with deep work in corporate and commercial real estate transactions, charity law, and judicial processes. Over more than a decade, his career has bridged traditional private practice, in-house counsel work at a leading edtech company (Duolingo), and academic and media engagement on the global legal profession.
As host of Studying Law Around the World, Claudio has produced 150+ podcast episodes featuring lawyers, professors, judges, and students from 14 countries. The show has reached listeners in 42 countries and was named Best Podcast at the 2025 Canadian Law Blog Awards. Its companion 75 Lawyers Project documents long-form interviews about how careers in law are actually built - including the doubts, pivots, and risks most professional bios omit.
Beyond the podcast, Claudio lectures at universities, writes for legal publications, and contributes to cross-border initiatives that broaden access to the profession. His work is grounded in a single conviction: law is local, but careers are global.
