Strategic Legal Response & Crisis Advisory
I provide guidance on rapid, strategic responses when legal or regulatory challenges arise, drawing on experience gained in prior professional roles involving investigations, enforcement defense, cross-border disputes, and compliance matters. When crises occur—whether due to regulatory inquiries, allegations of misconduct, transaction disruptions, or compliance concerns—timely and coordinated response is essential. My approach integrates expertise across multiple disciplines to help clients navigate complex situations that require careful assessment, planning, and informed decision-making.
I offer guidance on inquiries, investigations, and enforcement actions by governmental authorities, including agency visits, information requests, document demands, or enforcement notices. This guidance involves evaluating potential implications, developing response strategies, and coordinating with authorities across jurisdictions. Experience with cross-border matters in English, Spanish, and Portuguese informs my ability to address international challenges efficiently. I also collaborate with larger, local, and international counsel as needed, depending on the particularities of each project, to ensure a coordinated and effective response.
When allegations of corporate misconduct arise, I provide guidance on the legal dimensions of reputational and stakeholder management. This includes advising on disclosure considerations, coordinating with communications teams, and supporting strategies that address stakeholder concerns. My experience spans public companies, state-owned enterprises, and privately held businesses facing media attention, regulatory scrutiny, and other complex dynamics.
I assist organizations in responding to internal matters such as whistleblower allegations, executive misconduct, conflicts of interest, financial irregularities, harassment claims, and other sensitive situations. This involves establishing investigation protocols, securing evidence, assessing potential exposure, and advising boards and management on governance and response measures.
My crisis preparedness work helps clients design and implement practical response protocols, scenario planning, document preservation procedures, and investigation frameworks tailored to each organization’s operations and risk profile. Effective crisis management often requires coordination across multiple workstreams. I facilitate collaboration with external advisors—including forensic accountants, e-discovery specialists, public relations professionals, insurance experts, and other counsel as needed—to ensure cohesive and strategic responses. Throughout each engagement, I remain focused on protecting legal interests, preserving business continuity, and managing stakeholder relationships.
