Dra, how were your beginnings as a Labor Lawyer?
As the daughter of two merchants who worked all day, when I was young I spent a lot of time with my grandparents while my parents couldn’t take care of me and in that context I shared a lot with my maiden aunts Ana María and Haydeé, my mother’s sisters. They worked in a textile factory with mixed hours and many times the one who entered the late shift would take me and the one who left the morning shift would bring me to the grandparents’ house. I especially remember, and to this day I am convinced that this is the reason why I became a Labor Lawyer, a kind of revolt that broke out among the workers and how one of them yelled at the rest “don’t sign anything that there’s carbon paper downstairs.” That stuck with me and today, the first thing I tell my clients when they enter the studio is “don’t sign anything”.
Why are you part of the Bar Association?
My vocation as a Lawyer was born when I was little and specifically the specialty arose in that textile factory. I knew that college would be the key for my family and my children to have a better life. I had to work because I needed to, despite the fact that my experience led me to choose Labor Law. Now, when I look back and without that urgent need that invaded me when I was young, I feel a deep desire to work so that the Bar Association is a kind of companion who walks hand in hand with all Lawyers who have the same desire. that I had to prosper helping.
What do you think differentiates your management from the previous one?
I am convinced that destroying what exists to start from scratch is never a good idea. It hurts the referees and is a waste of money. The optimum, whenever possible, is to build on what has been built, because ultimately, we all want the best for the College in our own way. Personally, one of my objectives when I took office as Vice President was to instill the idea that being there is not the same as not being there. Dealing personally with going to the courts, the AFIP, the banks, the IGJ and listening to the problems of those enrolled is paramount on my agenda and it is something that had never been done before in the history of the College.
What aspects do you think need to be improved or done?
You can always improve. My next step will always be oriented towards the College adopting an increasingly active role in defending the interests of those enrolled. My office will always be open to all those who want to contribute their ideas and collaborate with management.
