Lead Counsel

As a legal professional with a dynamic career spanning various areas of law, I have built a path that combines legal rigor with technological innovation, excelling in fields such as tax law, corporate law, and cutting-edge emerging technologies, particularly blockchain. My journey has led me to work in prestigious law firms and provide legal counsel to technology companies, earning recognition as one of the 20 attorneys worldwide selected for the first legal scholarship program sponsored by the Ethereum Foundation

Recently, I completed a Master’s Degree in Law with groundbreaking research on: Cryptocurrencies: Financial Literacy and Tax Implications, funded by the National Council of Humanities, Sciences, and Technologies. During this program, I had the opportunity to conduct a research stay at the Complutense University of Madrid, one of Spain’s most prestigious academic institutions, which allowed me to gain a global perspective and enrich my understanding of legal challenges in an international context.

My experience in the financial sector has been shaped by a deep and specialized knowledge of the Law to Regulate Financial Technology Institutions (Fintech Law in Mexico), which has enabled me to thoroughly understand the regulatory frameworks governing financial institutions and emerging technologies. While my practical experience in financial law is still growing, my strong theoretical foundation and keen interest in deepening my expertise in this field drive me to continue learning and specializing, with the goal of expanding my knowledge and contributing innovative solutions in this area.

My focus is not limited to blockchain; I have extensive experience in regulatory compliance, KYC, financial institution regulation, and AML analysis, allowing me to adapt to diverse legal challenges across multiple sectors. I am recognized for my persevering attitude, problem-solving orientation, and ability to lead complex projects with an interdisciplinary approach.

I am seeking new professional challenges where I can apply my expertise in areas such as financial regulation, legal risk management, and compliance strategy implementation, offering a comprehensive and innovative perspective. My goal is to continue growing in a dynamic environment that values the combination of technical and legal knowledge, with a focus on creating effective and sustainable solutions.

With a positive, results-oriented mindset, I am ready to add value in challenging and ever-evolving environments, while continuing to expand my knowledge and specialize in financial law and AML.
