About Claudia L. Villaseñor
Claudia L. Villaseñor Sánchez built a transnational legal foundation early in her career. She earned an LL.B. in International Law from Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Occidente in 2001. More than a decade later she returned to formal study in the United States and completed an LL.M. at The Ohio State University Michael E. Moritz College of Law in 2013, concentrating in Business Law. Those two degrees, one rooted in Mexican legal education and the other in U.S. business law, shape how she approaches cross-border matters.
After completing her LL.M., Villaseñor Sánchez moved into practice that spans jurisdictions. She is licensed in New York and in Mexico. That dual standing allows her to advise on matters that touch both legal systems. She has worked on transactional and regulatory questions that require attention to differences between common law and civil law frameworks.
Her experience includes a role as an associate lawyer at Slowik & Robinson, LLC. In that position she has supported transactional work, conducted legal research, and prepared documentation used in negotiations and regulatory filings. Her colleagues describe her as methodical in contract drafting and careful in due diligence review. She has represented clients whose operations involve cross-border elements and who need coordination between Mexican and U.S. counsel.
Villaseñor Sánchez’s educational background informs the practical legal work she performs. The LL.M. program at Moritz exposed her to U.S. corporate practice and business regulation. Her LL.B. trained her in international law concepts as they apply in Mexico. Together those programs give her a practical lens on corporate transactions, compliance matters, and international agreements.
She works in an associate capacity at Slowik & Robinson, LLC, where her caseload has included transactional matters and regulatory compliance projects. She approaches each file by mapping the relevant statutes and contractual obligations and then translating those elements into actionable steps for clients. Her bilingual and binational perspective is useful when matters cross borders or when courts and regulators in different systems need to be considered.
As of 2026 she continues to practice law at Slowik & Robinson, LLC, handling corporate transactions and cross-border legal issues in both New York and Mexico in her current practice focus.
