About

Professional summary

I am a Guatemalan attorney and notary with extensive experience in corporate, civil, labor, notarial, and nonprofit legal matters.

I provide preventive legal counsel to national and international organizations, including companies, associations, foundations, NGOs, churches, schools, and universities. My work includes legal diagnostics, corporate governance, registrations, and compliance processes.

I have strong experience drafting and formalizing corporate documents, public deeds, contracts, powers of attorney, wills, property transactions, trusts, mortgages, and commercial instruments. I also manage registrations before public institutions and legal registries.

My labor-law practice includes advising employers on employment files, individual employment agreements, internal work regulations, occupational health and safety committees, disciplinary actions, dismissals, settlements, and employee benefits.

I have supported entrepreneurs, SMEs, and nonprofit entities with legal formalization, trademark registrations, asset-protection strategies, and corporate structuring. I also have experience in international protection programs, case documentation, referrals, monitoring, and stakeholder training.

I am trained in labor procedural law, human rights, mediation, conflict resolution, anti-corruption compliance, and sworn translation. I am committed to delivering practical, ethical, and strategic legal solutions.
