About Arnoldo
Arnoldo Arrate trained first at the University of Oriente, College of Law and later continued his legal studies in the United States. He holds a J.D. from the University of Oriente and completed advanced study in American law through a Master of Laws program at Florida State University. That combination of domestic and comparative legal education shaped the early contours of his practice.
His early practice record includes work for sports organizations. In 2004 he served as a lawyer for the Ecuadot Sport Federation. That role placed him in settings where organizational rules, contracts and regulatory questions intersected, and it gave him experience advising institutions as well as individuals connected to competitive athletics.
Over time Arrate expanded the range of institutions he represented. In 2020 he is listed as serving as counsel to Sarasota Cuban Ballet. The engagement with an arts organization reflected a continued interest in representing entities that operate at the intersection of culture, community and regulation. In the same year he established Arrate Law Office, PLLC, marking a transition into private practice under his own firm name.
Arrate is admitted to practice in Louisiana. He has bridged practice in international and domestic contexts, drawing on legal training earned both abroad and in the United States. His work history shows movement between institutional advice and individual representation, a pattern that is common among lawyers who counsel a mix of non‑profit and private clients.
Colleagues and clients have encountered Arrate in transactional and advisory settings, where attention to organizational governance and contract structure is often required. He has handled matters for arts and sports organizations as well as for private parties. His academic background in American law informs his approach to statutory and regulatory questions in Louisiana practice.
He practices at Arrate Law Office, PLLC, where he handles legal matters arising in Louisiana.
