Collaboration Context
My collaboration with Claudio spanned two stages of his legal education: at UC Davis and McGeorge School of Law. In both institutions, Claudio demonstrated deep engagement in legal analysis, the development of expert opinions on international law, and the promotion of access to legal education. His ability to prepare legal opinions, assess legal risks, and justify complex academic and practical legal issues made him stand out among his peers.
Claudio’s Key Achievements
- At UC Davis, Claudio actively explored issues of international legal regulation, participated in legal debates, and demonstrated the ability to conduct legal analysis in an academic environment.
- At McGeorge School of Law, he initiated an international partnership between McGeorge and UNIARP in Brazil. While preparing this initiative, Claudio conducted a thorough legal risk assessment related to launching an exchange program and provided solid legal justifications for its implementation.
- Claudio organized a series of educational consultations and webinars for UNIARP students, where he acted as a legal advisor, explaining the practical aspects of studying abroad, students’ rights protection, and adapting to international legal environments.
Additional Aspects of Collaboration
Besides the direct organization of the exchange program, Claudio was actively involved in conducting a legal audit of the documentation and procedures regulating academic mobility. His attention to detail helped identify potential gaps in contractual terms that could have led to legal risks in the future. Thanks to this, timely adjustments were made, enhancing transparency and protection for program participants.
It is also important to highlight Claudio’s contribution to the development of the methodology for conducting legal expertise of educational initiatives. His approach became the foundation for designing subsequent educational projects that incorporate not only legal aspects but also socio-cultural factors related to student adaptation in new legal systems.
Claudio’s Professional Qualities
Visionary Thinking: He strategically envisions the role of a lawyer in a globalized world, with a focus on legal auditing of educational systems.
Empathy and Care: Every consultation he provides is based on respect for students’ rights and needs.
Professionalism: His documentation, including legal opinions, consistently reflects accuracy, depth, and strong analytical skills.
Outcomes of the Collaboration
- Successful implementation of an international partnership between McGeorge School of Law and UNIARP;
- Conducted legal analysis of Brazil’s educational environment to support exchange programs;
- Delivered a series of legal webinars that prepared UNIARP students for studying abroad;
- Contributed to creating a safe environment for the protection of students’ rights in new academic settings.
Claudio is not only a talented legal professional but also an initiative-driven reformer who combines legal expertise with a deep understanding of the global educational landscape. His legal analysis, ability to produce well-reasoned opinions, and strategic vision enabled the successful implementation of a meaningful initiative and helped secure the rights of future students. I confidently recommend Claudio as a lawyer with international perspective and uncompromising professional ethics.
