On November 14, Harper Meyer Partner Otavio Carneiro and Law Clerk Tamires Frasson attended the “Brazilian Lawyers in Miami: Path to Success” panel hosted by the University of Miami School of Law’s Brazilian Law Student Association.
Otavio, a featured speaker of the event, holds law degrees in Brazil and the United States and has practiced law extensively in Brazil and Florida. Through his extensive experience, he had the direct opportunity to share with law students and former law school colleagues the unique opportunities and challenges present in the Miami market for international students with a civil law background. He touched on the competitive environment, the importance of attorneys fluent in Portuguese for the growing Brazilian business community, career opportunities for international students, and the importance of resilience and strategic planning while still at law school as a path for a successful career. Otavio offered valuable professional advice on adapting to these challenges by emphasizing the need for specialization and cultivating a robust and supportive network.
Through candid discussions and thoughtful advice, the speakers left an indelible mark on the event, inspiring fellow upcoming attorneys with their wisdom and fostering a sense of community amongst the students.
Special thanks to the Brazilian Law Students Association and the University of Miami School of Law for the organization of such an incredible event.
