Corporate

Life Sciences & Healthcare

I am co-managing partner of Bird & Bird France.

As a Corporate partner in the Life Sciences team in Paris, I represent companies in the Life Sciences sector (biotech/medtech/healthtech), innovative technology companies and their executive, industrial or financial shareholders throughout their development: from incorporation, to venture capital and development capital fundraising operations, stock market financing, mergers and acquisitions and build-ups, as well as the structuring of joint ventures. I also represent French and foreign venture capital funds and corporate venture funds in the Life Sciences sector.

For more than 10 years, I have been navigating the French life sciences ecosystem, with serial entrepreneurs, researchers, scientists, engineers and financiers, which is a fascinating world facing huge challenges for patients' health, including the revolution of artificial intelligence, data use and the digitalisation of health. I feel, in all humility, that I am contributing to this noteworthy and exciting cause: helping fund health research.
