  • Initially manage the corporate area: coordinate agreements of governing bodies and shareholder meetings, manage powers of attorney and corporate documentation, coordinate formalizations before notaries and registries, and support projects, intra-group operations, and the legal coordination of subsidiaries.

  • Provide support to Business Legal: collaborate on inquiries, claims, and the review and negotiation of contracts, especially when they have a regulatory dimension.

  • Manage the relationship with external advisors: coordinate specialized assignments, monitor work, and ensure the technical quality of the support received.
