My Background

I started my career in recruitment with Morgan McKinley in January 2017 after 7 years of experience in the legal sector.

I finished my law degree in 2007 and completed a Masters in Law in 2009 in my home country of Portugal, where I qualified as a lawyer in January 2013. I trained in one of the largest Portuguese law firms, followed by an in-house lawyer role in an investment bank.

I moved to Dublin in February 2013 to work as a legal counsel for a large technology multinational, where I stayed for 3 years. My main focus was the review and negotiation of commercial contracts within multiple jurisdictions, which led me into a similar role with a global company in the pharmaceutical industry.

A desire to interact with people in the legal sphere in a more collaborative manner while still using my legal skills and multi-industry knowledge drove me to legal recruitment.
