Biography

I have more than two decades of teaching, public speaking, research, and legal practice experience. My professional and academic interests focus on international arbitration and transnational litigation, the intersection between dispute resolution and new technologies, the fight against corruption, legal and institutional reform, private ordering, the globalization of the legal professions, and legal education. In general, my academic work pays special attention to the impact of culture, social norms, economic and political forces in the genesis and operation of the law. My professional work is mostly centered on international arbitration, transnational litigation, and the fight against corruption. I maintain a professional and academic interest on Latin America, although some my work is more general and not necessarily tied to any geographical area. I have taught, spoken, and done research, and consulted in different capacities throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa. I have several years of successful leadership and administrative experience in legal education, and in professional and academic societies. I am fluent in English and Spanish and working knowledge of Italian and Portuguese.
