This is Sofia, I’m a tax and legal consultant and content creator from Argentina.
I bring over 10 years of extensive experience in providing legal and tax & legal advisory services to both individuales and companies.

Currently, I provide legal services as an indepent lawyer  to local and foreign clients from different countries, after acquiring valuable experience in a well known multinational and top law firms in Buenos Aires city.  

I'm proactive, dependable and organized team player with the ability to communicate effectively and
efficiently. 

I have an excellent ability to communication, to identify development needs or red flags to propose improvements, ensure great customer service at all levels, comprehensive organizational abilities and outstanding knowledge of current laws and regulations. 

I acquired all these skills thanks to my extensive experience, in which I performed many roles such as  legal analyst, legal supervisor in charge of daily tasks and deadlines assignments and commercial manager. (Interact directly with clients handling questions, planning, consulting, etc; assist partners in legal research, analysis and memo writing on technical tax matters; draft of pleading, motion, lawsuits, tax refund actions, administrative and judicial appeals). 

When I was working as a Senior Legal Analyst in Accenture for the anticorruption team located in the USA, I was selected by my internal clients to travel to Chicago in 2014 to work together on a specific project and receive training. 
I performed software tools for Senior Executives to receive training on FCPA matters and prevent bribery acts, as well as a specific approval tool involving country legal leads, country managers, the anticorruption leader, and the Accenture CEO It was a great experience to meet them in person and to have them share their knowledge.

I can assist you not only with legal matters, but also with daily administrative tasks or processes that require improvement.

Also, It´s a pleasure for me to interact with different teamworks around the world to exchange different cultures and knowledge. 

I hope we can work together. 
Regards, Sofia.
