In addition to her traditional legal and litigation work, Victoria has also been employed as an adjunct professor teaching “Legal Aspects of Sport” at the University of Miami, where she taught and addressed all the legal considerations in the field of sport from event and building safety and management, to contracts, intellectual property, litigation, and everything in between.
