MIAMI — Amanda L. Fernandez, managing partner at Rivero Mestre, has concluded her term as president of the Cuban American Bar Association (CABA) and now serves as Immediate Past President. Her term wrapped up with CABA’s 52nd Annual Gala at Jungle Island in Miami, which the firm was proud to sponsor. The event was attended by Ana C. Malavé, Daniela Tenjido-Eljaiek, Anisley Negrin Ruiz, and Daniela Acosta.

During her presidency, Amanda strengthened partnerships with other bar associations, expanded mentorship opportunities for young lawyers and law students, and promoted initiatives supporting pro bono legal services and scholarships for law students. She was instrumental in the grand opening of the Osvaldo N. Soto Miami-Dade Justice Center and was honored as a Champion of the Courthouse for her dedication to bringing the project to life.

In an article in the Daily Business Review (DBR), Amanda shared advice for incoming President Martínez-Cid on balancing professional and personal responsibilities while leading CABA:

“Being CABA president is a lot of work. He also has a family, similar to me, with young children. Just take it a day at a time. Rely on the board who is there to help and always keep our mission at heart.”

CABA is a non-profit voluntary bar association founded in 1974 by lawyers of Cuban descent. CABA’s members include judges, lawyers, and law students of all backgrounds interested in issues affecting the Cuban community, as well as broader legal and human rights issues impacting minority communities as a whole.
