People decisions. With legal judgment and business sense.
I help companies as they grow, reorganize or need to put their HR practices in order. I'm a lawyer, and I built my career in HR at multinational companies.

- The Walt Disney Company Latin America
- Diaverum
Where people, law and business meet.
Most HR problems start when only one of these three is considered. My job is to think about them together, from the start.
-
People
Leadership, culture, talent, and the experience of everyone who works at the company.
-
Employment law
Rules, contracts, policies and risk. A lawyer's training applied to every decision.
-
Business
Structure, costs and goals. Every recommendation answers to what the company needs.
What I do.
Five ways to work together. The dots show which areas each service brings together.
-
HR strategy and organization
An assessment of the HR function, structure, roles and processes. A people plan aligned with the company's goals.
For growing companies, or HR teams that need a reset. -
Employee relations and compliance
Policies, handbooks and procedures reviewed with a legal eye. Conflict prevention, and support through negotiations and separations.
For lowering risk before it turns into a problem. -
Change and restructuring
Mergers, new structures or operating changes. Careful planning, communication and execution.
For getting through transitions without losing talent or trust. -
Talent and leadership
Hiring for key roles, performance reviews, development plans and support for leaders.
For building teams that can sustain growth. -
Fractional HR leadership
Senior HR leadership by the day or by the project, without adding a permanent role.
For companies that need expert judgment, but not yet a full-time HR director.
A partner for decisions, not just another HR vendor.
Two disciplines
A law degree from the University of Buenos Aires and a postgraduate degree in Human Resources from UCEMA.
Multinational experience
Roles across HR at global companies in industry, entertainment and healthcare.
Direct relationship
No middlemen: the person who makes the diagnosis sees the work through.
Three steps, no off-the-shelf playbook.
Listen
A first conversation to understand the context, where the company is, and what's at stake.
Assess
Research, interviews and a written proposal with clear scope, timing and fees.
Implement
Working alongside your team until the solutions run on their own. We measure and adjust.
Soledad Rodriguez Casanova
I'm a lawyer and Human Resources executive. My career sits between two worlds that, in practice, always go together: people and rules.
I've worked across HR at multinational companies including Linde, The Walt Disney Company Latin America and Diaverum. Today I put that experience to work for companies that want a partner for their people decisions.

Restructuring without losing your people: five principles
A restructuring affects the people who leave and the people who stay. Five principles for planning it carefully, staying within the law and protecting the team's trust.
Before we start.
What kinds of companies do you work with?
Small and mid-sized companies that are growing, and local subsidiaries of multinationals that need targeted HR support.
What is fractional HR leadership?
It means having a senior HR leader a few days a week or by the project: the experience of an HR director without the cost of a full-time role.
Do you give legal advice?
My legal training shapes every HR recommendation. When a case needs legal representation, I work with the company's law firm.
Do you work remotely?
Yes. I work in person in Buenos Aires and remotely with companies in other cities and countries, in Spanish or English.
How do we start?
With a conversation to understand your situation. If I can help, I'll send a written proposal with scope, timing and fees.
Let's talk.
Tell me where your company is right now. One conversation is usually enough to know whether I can help, and how.
