About Priscilla
Priscilla Bastazin built a legal path that crosses borders and legal traditions. She trained in Puerto Rico and the United States, then carried those credentials into practice on both sides of the Atlantic. Her career reflects an interest in the practical intersections of different legal systems.
Bastazin earned her LL.B. from the Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico School of Law in 2005. She later pursued graduate study at Stanford Law School, completing an LL.M. in 2010. Those years of study gave her a foundation in comparative legal analysis and access to networks in academia and practice.
After finishing her LL.M., Bastazin moved into practice that spans jurisdictions. Her professional experience includes work at Fenwick & West LLP, where she joined colleagues who handle complex commercial and technology matters. At Fenwick she applied her bilingual and bicultural background to client matters that required an understanding of both U.S. and Brazilian legal contexts.
Bastazin is authorized to practice in California and in Brazil. That dual admission shapes the kinds of matters she accepts. She often works on issues that require coordination across legal systems, including transactional work and regulatory questions that affect cross-border operations. Her training in Puerto Rico and at Stanford allows her to translate academic concepts into practical solutions for corporate and institutional clients.
Colleagues describe Bastazin as methodical and direct. She breaks complex problems into clear steps and communicates findings in plain language. Clients seeking counsel that spans North and South America have turned to her for assistance in structuring agreements, assessing regulatory exposure, and coordinating filings across jurisdictions. She balances research and negotiation, and she pays attention to procedural detail while tracking commercial objectives.
In the current phase of her career Bastazin continues to practice at Fenwick & West LLP. She handles matters that require cross-border coordination between California and Brazil and counsels clients on transactional and regulatory issues arising from that intersection.
