With a background in civil litigation dating back to 2014, Ana has developed extensive experience in judicial and extrajudicial dispute resolution. Over the years, she has focused her practice on Insurance Law, encompassing both Life and Non-Life lines, where she provides comprehensive legal support throughout the claims process — from initial assessment to litigation.
Her advisory work focuses on drafting, reviewing, and adapting insurance policies of all types to meet legal and contractual requirements, with particular emphasis on liability, property, and D&O policies, including the assessment of defense costs.
Her practical experience is complemented by a strong academic background, reflected in several published works and her teaching roles in postgraduate and specialized insurance courses. This dual perspective enhances her analytical rigor and attention to detail in resolving complex technical issues, positioning her as a reference in the intersection between litigation and insurance advisory.
