A legal strategist focused on understanding and resolving high-exposure conflicts across jurisdictions.
Drawing on experience in law, diplomacy, media and international advisory, Jorge works where institutional crises emerge from tensions between legality, legitimacy and public perception. He leads the legal direction of U&V STRATUS and oversees every engagement.
The most consequential disputes are rarely purely legal or purely political.
They arise when formal rules, institutional trust and power dynamics fall out of alignment. Jorge advises decision-makers in exactly those situations: complex institutional matters where the legal framework, public trust and the interests of those in charge must be read together.
He knows how governments work, how and why they move, and how bureaucratic decision-making unfolds. That understanding shapes the strategy of every matter the firm takes on.
