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 immediately understands the business implications, has a firm grasp of the technical details, and is capable of defending your interests with the same rigor as major international law firms.

I have been a member of the Paris Bar since 2012 and practiced at leading commercial law firms before founding my own niche practice specializing 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 today I bring you this top-tier expertise combined with the responsiveness and personalized attention of an independent firm.
