How I represent clients at Schwabe

As a litigator, I advocate for my clients and their causes—learning about their business, applying legal tools, and communicating their position with a coherent and strategic narrative. I tackle challenges with a meticulous and analytical approach, offering each client a strategically tailored solution to address their individual legal issues.

I gained valuable experience as a Summer Associate at Schwabe, where I was able to apply my background in journalism to commercial litigation. Before attending law school, I lived in Spain, where I became fluent in Spanish.
