Studying Law Around the World
A CPD-accredited legal podcast exploring legal education and careers across borders. 150+ episodes. Guests from 30+ countries. Produced and hosted by Cláudio Klaus.
Initiatives & Collaborations
Work that connects the profession across borders.
These are not separate projects. They are different forms of the same practice, building paths between legal communities through podcasting, structured research, leadership in international organizations, and cross-border collaboration.

75 Years, 75 Stories
During the 2024-25 academic year, I set a goal to meet 75 U of T Law alumni before graduation, to mark the Faculty's 75th anniversary. The conversations were compiled into a booklet published by the Faculty of Law.
What is the difference between Studying Law Around the World and 75 Years, 75 Stories?
They are two separate projects. Studying Law Around the World is my podcast, now in its fourth year, with 150+ episodes and guests from more than 30 countries. 75 Years, 75 Stories was an academic project I completed during my GPLLM at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law, celebrating the school's 75th anniversary. I conducted 75 conversations with alumni, and the Faculty published the results as a booklet in 2025.
Other Work
Research
Comparative Regulatory Systems
Comparing regulated sectors in Ontario, Canada, and Santa Catarina, Brazil, with a focus on sanitation, water law, and public utility regulation.
Why it existsStarted because the gap between statutory ambition and on-the-ground delivery rarely shows up in single-jurisdiction scholarship.
Practice
Cross-Border Corporate & Real Estate
Supporting corporate transactions, commercial real estate, and charity law across Brazilian and Canadian practice, including prior experience at Duolingo (non-legal role).
Why it existsStarted because clients with operations in two or more of these jurisdictions still routinely hire two or three lawyers who don't talk to each other.
