Why Ferraiuoli?
Ferraiuoli has grown to become one of the leading law firms in Puerto Rico. Its expertise in complex practice areas and its exceptional group of attorneys are some of the qualities that have positioned the firm as a leader in the Puerto Rico market, engaging both local and foreign clients. I was fortunate to become part of Ferraiuoli’s team by participating in its Summer Associate Program and subsequently by working here as a law clerk. I had the opportunity of working alongside an excellent group of experienced, driven and dedicated professionals, who taught me much of what I know today. Also, I learned the importance of teamwork and how the contribution of each member of our team is essential in order to reach a successful outcome. Being able to work at Ferraiuoli during law school was truly an invaluable learning experience, and it was definitely a fundamental part of my legal education and professional development as an attorney.
Why do your clients come to you?
Our clients are our priority and our main focus is on addressing their needs in the quickest and most effective way possible. I believe one of the aspects our clients value the most is that not only do we provide legal advice, but we also think like businesspeople. We provide our clients with a business oriented approach to the complex challenges they face, and we offer alternative courses of action in order to protect their interests.
What do you find most rewarding?
One of the most rewarding parts of my job is working as part of a team to solve complex legal issues and transactions. Each and every member of our team provides a unique input and insight, which leads to successful outcomes and satisfied clients.
