Legal innovation and artificial intelligence · Complex litigation and disputesI am a Bolivian lawyer. I lead the implementation of artificial intelligence at Moreno Baldivieso, where I am an Associate, and I work on how to evaluate, govern and build reliable legal AI for legal systems that AI still knows poorly, such as Bolivia’s and the Andean Community’s.
That work rests on practice. I handle complex litigation and disputes, and from November 2023 to May 2025 I was co-leader of the litigation practice in the Santa Cruz office. I also advise domestic and international companies on corporate and contractual matters.
I have taught at universities in Santa Cruz de la Sierra since 2022, and I research artificial intelligence and law. Since its inaugural meeting in July 2025, I have taken part, on behalf of Moreno Baldivieso, in the Artificial Intelligence Working Group of the UN Global Compact in Bolivia.
