Burton Young Externship (Summer 2009)
ANNUAL FUND
EUSEBIO PERALTA-MARTINEZ, a graduate student in the Law School’s Comparative Law
LL.M. Program, earned a Licenciado en Derecho (Juris Doctor equivalent) at the National
Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), where he was the assistant editor of The Official
Bulletin of the Law School.
Before coming to the Law School, Peralta, who is admitted to the Mexican Bar, practiced
law for 15 years as an intellectual property attorney and litigant in his home country of
Mexico and as an advisor in the corporate field in the United States. Starting out as a federal
examining attorney at the Secretary of Commerce and Industrial Promotion in Mexico
City, Mexico, Peralta went on to work at the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property as a
national department chief, general counselor, and examining attorney. He also worked as
an IP litigation legal director at Malacara and Associates, S.C., in Guadalajara, Mexico; as
a corporate advisor at Craft and Sitton, PLLC in Nashville, Tennessee; as an IP litigation
legal director at ILF Abogados, S.C. in Guadalajara, Mexico; and as a corporate counselor
at Mcintosh and Peralta, LLC, in Nashville, Tennessee.
The Burton Young Externship allowed Peralta to work with the Family Court Division for the Eleventh Judicial Circuit
in Miami, where he assisted in case management for family court judges. “Working with judges on decisions that affect
families is a clear shift away from the corporate environment I have experienced,” says Peralta. “Through my studies, I
developed a special interest in the emerging area of collaborative law. This externship has given me a fresh perspective on
how the various fields of law are interconnected, and I believe it will benefit me as I move forward with my career in the
U.S.”
