About Ana

I am a Senior Legal Counsel with extensive experience in corporate law, M&A, competition law, and cross-border commercial transactions. I have worked in complex international environments, partnering closely with senior leadership and business teams to deliver clear, practical, and commercially aligned legal advice.

My work focuses on structuring and negotiating high-stakes agreements, supporting strategic transactions, and managing legal risk across multiple jurisdictions. I have particular experience in corporate partnerships, regulatory matters, and competition law, often operating in fast-moving and ambiguous environments where legal advice must directly support business decisions.

I am used to taking ownership of complex legal workstreams end-to-end, working with external counsel, and translating legal complexity into actionable solutions for business stakeholders.

I am particularly interested in roles where law and business strategy intersect, and where legal professionals are expected to act as true business partners rather than purely advisory functions. I also have a growing interest in legal innovation and the use of AI tools to improve efficiency and decision-making in legal work.

My approach is pragmatic, structured, and business-oriented, with a strong focus on clarity, responsiveness, and delivering value in high-impact environments.
