Career

I am a partner in the dispute resolution group in Paris, with extensive experience advising companies and public entities on complex cross-border disputes.

My work focuses on complex arbitration proceedings across strategic sectors such as energy, defence, life sciences and logistics, often linked to projects in Africa. I act as counsel in significant international cases and also serve as an arbitrator, offering clients a well-rounded perspective on dispute resolution.

I have extensive experience in high-stakes arbitrations arising from commercial agreements, corporate transactions, and shareholder arrangements. Many of these cases involve sensitive issues triggered by geopolitical or regulatory changes, including sanctions and force majeure events. Clients value my ability to manage time-critical proceedings and deliver practical solutions that protect their interests.

With a background spanning business and law and in-house experience in claims management, I bring a commercially focused approach to arbitration strategy. Also having a litigation background, I also advise on enforcement and asset recovery to ensure that awards translate into tangible results. I am also experienced at handling parallel proceedings of all kinds and in all jurisdictions.
