Présentation de Maria Alexandra

Hello! My name is Maria, and I´m from Dominican Republic (Caribbean) and also have Italian nationality. I'm a lawyer experienced in banking, finance, corporate, labour, commercial law, currently working as a Senior Associate in a top firm in the Dominican Republic. In the past, I've worked as General Counsel to a local bank, as a specialist in Corporate Governance for another financial entity, as Legal Director of the Association of Dominican Banks in the D.R., among other experiences. Currently, I am a Senior Counsel in one of the biggest law firms in the Dominican Republic (OMG). Simultaneously, I'm very active on different associations (ONGs) that deal with issues affecting the business sector, so in this context, I work very closely with laws and regulation that, from a National perspective, affect the business sector. My participation on these ONGs also includes participating as panelist on several conferences, seminars and events regarding laws and regulation that affect the business sector and the financial sector as well, with special emphasis on issues regarding the new Anti-Money Laundering Law that´s been recently published in the D.R. In addition, I´m currently the coordinator of postgraduate and training programs regarding Anti-Money Laundering Compliance, and I´m also a teacher on this subject for different schools and universities. Finally, I think it´s important to note that I serve as a professional jury for the evaluation of thesis worked by law students enrolled at the Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra (PUCMM). If you feel I could help or guide you in some way, feel free to contact me! Maria Alexandra
