Q & A

What aspect of your personal background shapes your current practice?

As a native Miamian with familial roots in Latin America, my cultural background has been key to supporting my work for Bilzin Sumberg’s robust roster of high net worth individuals and families from Latin America seeking cross-border tax and estate planning counsel. Our clients highly value my ability to communicate tax and estate planning concepts in Spanish or Portuguese as necessary, in addition to appreciating my familiarity with cultural nuances that sometimes shape estate planning considerations.

What made you decide to join Bilzin Sumberg’s tax and private wealth practice?

Bilzin Sumberg’s attorneys are recognized thought leaders in the private wealth planning space, particularly when it comes to cross-border tax and estate planning. As a tax attorney who has always sought to specialize in international planning, the firm’s deep bench of skilled practitioners rendering sophisticated counsel on multijurisdictional matters was a major attractor for me. Among clients and professionals alike, the firm’s attorneys are known for being at the forefront of novel tax issues and evolving estate planning techniques.
