About Ana Spinola:
My name is Ana Paula Spinola, I'm Brazilian, a wife, a mother, and a lawyer in Brazil.
My career in the legal field began in 2002 when I was still in my second year of university.
I worked as an internship during the day and worked at night. I stayed with that company for 10 years. I started as an internship and left the company with the position of labor relations specialist.
In 2011, I left my first job to work as a generalist lawyer. I loved working in that company. Every day brought different subjects, challenges, and learning experiences.
In 2015, I started a new career in contracts and commercial law, and in 2016, I left the company to move to England.
My dream was to study abroad, experience another culture, and explore new horizons.
In 2017, I unexpectedly became pregnant with my daughter and decided to pause my career for a while to dedicate myself to her.
In 2020, when she was old enough to attend nursery, I started law school. I graduated with first-class honors.
Now I am looking opportunity to continue my career.
