About

Professional summary

I am a Cum Laude lawyer and Master in International Relations with extensive experience in banking, financial, corporate, and government-related legal matters in Honduras.

I specialize in drafting, structuring, and interpreting corporate and banking contracts, including supply, lease, professional services, trust, assignment-of-rights, and guarantee agreements.

I provide legal opinions, technical reports, and strategic advice to support institutional and executive decision-making. My work focuses on identifying, assessing, and mitigating legal and regulatory risks in complex transactions.

I have strong experience formalizing mortgage, pledge, and corporate credit guarantees, as well as managing registrations, liens, and compliance procedures before public institutions such as the Property Institute and SAR.

I have also represented and advised corporate clients in civil, labor, commercial, criminal, and administrative matters. I am skilled in commercial negotiation, litigation management, mediation, and alternative dispute resolution.

I work professionally in Spanish as my native language and have intermediate English proficiency. I use Microsoft Office and Power BI to prepare legal documentation, reports, and business-focused analyses.
