After relicensing in Ontario, she now provides in-house legal advisory to Canadian mining companies with projects around the world -including Argentina- focusing on corporate structuring, securities compliance, and ESG matters.In this episode, Mercedes brings a 360-degree perspective to the law practice, bridges cultural gaps in the profession, and shares what she learned about it: legal advice isn’t just about rules, it’s about context, purpose, and real-world consequences.
