Prior to joining GrubMarket, Jorge was a partner at O’Melveny, where he advised leading global companies on legal strategy, litigation and investigations, risk management, and best practices across highly complex, regulated environments. At O’Melveny, Jorge worked closely with his clients’ executive leadership teams and boards of directors on governance matters, disclosure practices, compliance frameworks, and long-term risk management strategies.
