Débora Carvalho Garcia

I am a Brazilian lawyer based in Germany with more than 6 years of work experience and Of-counsel at SUA.

Since my law degree in Brazil, I have invested in strengthening my knowledge of German law and Compliance. I completed two master’s degrees, one LLM (Masters) from FU Berlin and another from IMF Business School, Portugal, in partnership with Universidad Camilo José Cela, Spain.

I worked for several years in a top tier German/British law firm, as well as completed professional internships in other legal firms in Germany, being able to learn and understand the German culture in the professional environment.

While I have a proven track record in the areas of Compliance, Data Protection and Risk Analysis in globally operating major law firms in Berlin, I am passionate about providing clients with comprehensive advice on other areas of the law, particularly family and immigration law.

I am fluent in Portuguese, German and English. My academic and professional background gave me not only the fluency in those three languages but also the intercultural experience, which is crucial to the current globalized scenario in which we live.

I am a member of the Brazilian Bar Association (Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil), and I am currently in the process of obtaining admission to the Portuguese Lawyer's Bar (Ordem dos Advogados) and, subsequently, to the Berlin Bar (Rechtsanwaltskammer Berlin). This investment will allow me to practice and advise in three different jurisdictions: Brazil, Portugal and Germany.

Clients feel welcome, accepted and safe working with me in this international and globalized environment, with the certainty that their case will be handled properly and efficiently, particularly in cross-border matters.
