Caroline Valadares Bustamante

Legal Consultant

Caroline Valadares Bustamante is an accomplished legal professional with a solid

background in international law, a passion for technology, and a commitment to

sustainability. Born in Brazil, on January 19, 1986, she graduated in law from UFRJ and

specialized in labor law from IBMEC. Moving in 2019 to the Netherlands, Caroline pursued

a master’s degree in Public International Law at the Universiteit van Amsterdam, where she

gained a comprehensive understanding of international human rights, investment law, and

environmental law.


During her career, Caroline has worked both as a lawyer in a law firm and as a Legal

Consultant. In her role as a lawyer, she handled a wide range of law cases, navigating

complex legal frameworks to provide expert counsel to her clients. Her responsibilities

included structuring and reviewing contracts, ensuring compliance with labor regulations, and

providing strategic legal advice. As a Legal Consultant, she expanded her expertise by

conducting in-depth legal research, drafting and analyzing contracts, and negotiating legal

terms. These experiences honed her ability to work independently and manage high-pressure

environments with tight deadlines.


Caroline’s dedication to social justice is reflected in her academic achievements. Her master’s

thesis, which focused on environmental defenders in Latin America, allowed her to explore

the intersection of human rights and environmental protection. This deepened her

understanding of the unique challenges faced by advocates of sustainable development in the

region, particularly those defending environmental causes.


In addition to her legal expertise, she is committed to expanding her skill set by pursuing

professional certification in data science, further enhancing her ability to contribute to an

evolving global landscape. She is fluent in English and Portuguese, with intermediate

proficiency in Spanish and Dutch, enabling her to navigate international settings with ease.

Passionate about arts and literature, Caroline believes in the transformative power of

education and culture, especially in a global context where these resources can drive positive

change. Beyond her professional endeavors, she is a strong advocate for using art and

literature as tools to empower and inspire communities around the world.
