Greetings:
I am a U.S. businessman/attorney/systems engineer, who since 1983 has had a Colombian work visa (Cedula Ex. 219173, B’quilla). Currently, my wife (U.S./Colombian attorney & citizen), our 9-year-old son, and I have resided temporarily in Annandale, Virginia, while maintaining our domicile in Santa Veronica, Colombia, and our office at the World Trade Center, Barranquilla. However, we are ready to return to reside in Colombia full time because our oldest son has completed his BA degree at Virginia Tech, and is completing his graduate studies at Harvard.
In summary, my experience is:
? From 1987 to the present, I established and have maintained in both in Virginia and Colombia: (I) Rodriguez & Rodriguez Consultants to assist and advise U.S./Colombian entities in contracts and business development; and, (II) Law Offices of Isidoro Rodriguez specialized in representing nonresident U.S./Colombian citizens in civil litigation in the U.S.A. to protect their property and civil rights under corporate law, Constitutional law, forfeiture law, U.S. immigration, and labor/employment law, i.e., I successfully petitioned and argued before the United States Supreme Court, Katia Gutierrez de Martinez v. Lamagno and DEA, et al., 115 S.Ct. 2227; 132 L.Ed.2d 375 (1995)(confirmed right to Article III judicial review of the U.S. Attorney General’s determination); and, as Legal Representative to Sea Search Armada LP/Armada Company, I have managed their complex contract litigation against the Republic of Colombia on their claim to treasure troves on the sunken Galleon San Jose, estimated to be valued at $17 Billion USD, which was described by Congressmen Benjamin A. Gilman, Dan Burton, and Phil M. Crane, as the "largest private claim by American citizens against a foreign state pending in the world.”
? From 1983 to 1987 I was Assistant General Counsel/Contracts Administrator to Morrison Knudsen International, who was the prime contractor on Exxon’s $2 Billion USD Cerrejon Coal Mine Cerrejon Project of 15 million metric tons open pit mine, a deep water port, and 154 km heavy gage railroads. I was the manger responsible for contract administration of the more than 350 subcontracts, 35,000 purchase orders, Colombian vendors, managing litigation outside Colombian attorneys, and labor/employment issues involved in the construction of the project.
? From 1981 to 83, I was Director of Office of Civil Rights USDA (Staff of 305, Budget $4 million); from 1978-81, I was Legal Counsel to the Office of the Mayor, Office of Personnel, City of Washington, D.C.; from 1976-78, I was Special Assistant the Assistant Secretary of Education, HEW and Special Adviser of an Interagency White House Study on Puerto Rico; from 1974 to 1876, I was Patent/Trade Secret Law Clerk Ball Corp., Muncie IN., and Law Clerk El Paso Natural Gas, El Paso, TX; and, from 1978 to 1972, I was a System Engineer with UNIVAC/Sperry.
I would prefer to continue to work under contract with our office infrastructure, but I am open to either a full/part time position with an organization preferably in Barranquilla or Cartagena. My salary requirements are negotiable. I hope to have the opportunity to discuss my application and respond to any other information or references you require (E-mail: [email protected]).
