Cristobal Soto Mejia, Esq.

I am a disciplined and enthusiastic lawyer focused on Business and Human Rights, compliance, and risk management. I’m admitted to practice law in the State of New York and Colombia

I’m passionate about improving people’s lives through collaboration with the government, civil society, and private sector.

I participated in different volunteer programs, and I confounded the ONG Construyendo Sonrisas to achieve social impact in the rural areas of Colombia. Currently, working in Alltech, an agro-industry company that is Working Together for a Planet of Plenty™.

During Law School, I was awarded one of the top 10 best law students from Colombia, and Universidad de La Sabana awarded me with the Meritorious Student Scholarship. During my Masters in Law (LLM) at Washington University in St. Louis, I obtained a concentration in Negotiation and Alternative Dispute Resolution and a certificate in International Law.

I consider that my discipline, passion, and curiosity are my key strengths in improving many people’s lives.
