She assists clients with the selection, clearance and prosecution of trademarks, negotiates and drafts license agreements, helps clients with trademark policing efforts, and counsels clients on IP validity, infringement and enforcement, domain name disputes, and rights of publicity issues.

Flavia was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and moved to the United States in 2003 to pursue a Master’s Degree at the University of Michigan Law School. Flavia started taking ballet lessons at age 7 but retired from practice at 17. After settling in Phoenix, she became a subscriber of Ballet Arizona and was instantly impressed with the world-class caliber of the valley’s resident company. Recently, Flavia decided to resume her ballet practice by taking adult classes at Ballet Arizona; yet another way of staying engaged with the company and nurturing her passion for ballet. Flavia is the proud mom of 4-year-old Nina, who is already a fan of ballet, a frequent attendee of Ballet Arizona performances, and, hopefully, a soon-to-be student at the School of Ballet Arizona.
