Cybersecurity
Crypto is my differentiator.
Business law is my practice.
I sit at the intersection of financial regulation and digital asset technology, advising companies that are building the next generation of payment infrastructure.
Crypto is the Vertical
Stablecoin rails, digital assets, DeFi infrastructure. I speak the language of the technology your company is building on.
Business Law is the Practice
Tax, corporate, securities, banking regulation. The actual legal disciplines that keep fintech companies compliant and operational.
Latin America is the Arena
Based in Colombia. Near-fluent in Spanish. Advising companies moving money across borders using next-generation payment technology.
Two paths. One standard of excellence.
Whether you're a payments company scaling across borders or an individual with a high-stakes crypto matter, you get the same depth of expertise.
