Cassandra Matilde Fernandes

I am an international legal and policy leader with 12+ years advising governments, intergovernmental organisations and regulated industries. I am specialised in governance, integrity frameworks, treaty implementation and high-stakes commercial operations. 

As a senior regulatory governance and integrity advisor with commercial judgment, I have led treaty implementation and legislative reform projects across Europe, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. I have advised governments, regulators and global corporations on governance compliance and integrity frameworks and delivered high-stakes commercial and regulatory work in sport media and major international events. California-qualified and trained across common-law systems, I bring strong analytical judgment cross-border perspective and senior stakeholder credibility particularly in environments combining public policy commercial risk and international regulation. 

My consulting work includes advising governments, public bodies and international organisations on good governance, integrity, policy drafting, whistleblowing frameworks, investigations and compliance. I have acted as a delegate in multiple intergovernmental committees and contributed to major publications on sports integrity, financial crime, illegal betting and regulatory frameworks.

I am now based in the UAE and focused on senior advisory roles spanning regulatory governance integrity, and strategic legal functions.
