Gain the upper hand in high-stakes legal disputes, whether they are strategic or economic
Expertise dedicated to representing companies in their dealings with business partners or end customers.

Expertise in litigation
The legal challenges you face can have a significant impact on your business, your reputation, and your bottom line. You need legal counsel who understands immediately the business implications of legal decisions, has a firm grasp of the technical details, and is capable of defending your interests with the same rigour as major international law firms.
I have been a member of the Paris Bar since 2012 and practised at leading commercial law firms before founding my own niche practice specialising in commercial litigation.
I hold an LLM from Bond University and a Master’s degree in Contract Law from the University of Paris I. I am also a member of the Association of Corporate Legal Professionals (APCA) and the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP).
I work in both English and French, and will bring you this top-tier expertise combined with the responsiveness and attentiveness of an independent firm.
My approach allows you to:
