Chanel began her career in AmLaw 100 firms before serving as a Judicial Law Clerk in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. She went on to become Enforcement Counsel at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, where she led cross-border investigations in insider trading, market manipulation, and healthcare-related securities violations.

After her service at the SEC, Chanel was appointed General Counsel and Partner at Stonehaven, LLC, advising on more than $1B in cross-border capital raises, SEC examinations, and compliance for a global capital markets and fintech advisory platform. She later served as Senior Counsel at Johnson & Johnson, where she guided litigation policy, risk management, and external affairs on high-impact issues, partnering closely with executives, regulators, and policymakers.

Today, as Founder and Managing Attorney of Uriel Law, Chanel represents select clients across finance, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, entertainment, technology, real estate, and higher education. Known for her ability to anticipate risk and align legal strategy with business goals, she is not just a lawyer but a boardroom-level partner who helps leaders navigate complexity, protect reputation, and unlock growth.

Beyond her practice, Chanel serves as a Trustee of Florida International University, where she previously chaired the Audit & Compliance Committee, and as a Board Member of the SEED School of Miami. She has been recognized by Black Enterprise, The American Lawyer, Super Lawyers, ATL Plus Magazine, and the National Bar Association for her leadership and influence. She is admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court, a distinction held by fewer than 6% of attorneys.

Her professional philosophy is simple: excellence is non-negotiable. For visionary leaders and enterprises facing high-stakes decisions, Chanel is the advocate, strategist, and ally who ensures their ambitions are protected and propelled.
