Maria worked closely with me on several legal proceedings in different practice areas, particularly with Commercial Law, Procurment Law, Civil and Corporate Law. Maria impressed me as a thoughtfull and sharp minded trainee. She worked efficiently and applied properly her theoretical expertise. In addition, Maria has excellent communicative and negotiation skills, reaching the best possible settlement for the Client and she was always willing to offer assistance in matters not under her responsibility, revealing to be a cooperative colleague. Maria also was very flexible and eager to take new challenges. She would be an asset to any employer and I recommend her for any endeavor she chooses to pursue.
