About Me – Janelle Melissa Lewis

Seasoned New York Licensed Attorney in business law, administrative law, international law, data privacy, and business strategy, I have served global entrepreneurs, professionals, and multinational corporations. My mission has always been to empower clients by navigating the intricate U.S. legal landscape and achieving their strategic business objectives. Beyond legal advisory and contract services, I excel in strategic consulting, crafting business strategies within a robust legal framework.

With a wealth of experience ranging from litigating complex cases at the UN Dispute Tribunal to securing asylum for clients in sensitive, transnational matters, my contributions extend to publishing articles in legal publications, serving as a committee member of the Foreign and Comparative Law Committee of the New York City Bar Association and representing the New York State Bar at key UNCITRAL sessions.

My journey includes notable achievements such as shaping new jurisprudence in international administrative and employment law, successfully securing asylum in complex transnational cases, and leading high-stakes international contract negotiations. Extensive publications on business strategy and legal frameworks have enriched industry knowledge, while UNCITRAL sessions have broadened my global perspective.

Now transitioning into Comparative International Public and Private Law, focusing on International Trade, Human Rights, and Technology, I am eager to collaborate on freelance legal research projects with internationally-oriented solo practitioners and small law firms, leveraging my expertise to support and elevate your legal strategies.

Let’s connect and explore opportunities to drive impactful outcomes together.
