Journey toward a career in corporate finance

Chané recalls that her decision to pursue corporate finance was sparked the first time she reviewed a contract outside of her articles. She vividly remembers how the defined terms and clauses fit together like a jigsaw puzzle, igniting a passion for constructing complex and intricate puzzles—work that naturally led her to M&A. As she notes, "You can’t separate M&A work from corporate finance law."

In addition to corporate finance, Chané has a deep interest in the mining corporate commercial sector. "The mining sector keeps me on my toes and makes my day-to-day work fascinating," she says.

Reflecting on her career path, Chané shares that if she could change one thing, it would be her initial belief that success follows a linear trajectory—from candidate attorney to director. She explains that every time she deviated from that path, those decisions turned out to be the best for her career. "Every time I took a risk, I grew in character. And there are no universities offering degrees in character," she adds.
