Flávio joined TMG as a fellow in August 2021. During his yearlong fellowship, Flávio observed dozens of mediations with some of Boston’s most prominent mediators, dealing with a variety of complex legal issues. He has also co-mediated several cases with senior TMG mediators, utilizing his multi-lingual abilities and interpersonal skills to help clients from diverse backgrounds come to a resolution. These experiences enabled Flávio to see various mediation styles and discover which strategies worked best for particular situations as he honed his skills as a mediator. He now uses those skills to resolve disputes of all manner and difficulty.

In his day job, Flávio helms his own legal practice, specializing in the intricate domain of Immigration Law.
