Short Biography

I am a French qualified lawyer with a background shaped across France, the UK, and Italy. After years spent in the M&A teams of international law firms, I made the decision to focus on private clients over twelve years ago. Today, I have the privilege of assisting international families with all their tax and legal concerns, collaborating with their trusted advisors, or introducing reliable partners to help them decipher and navigate an increasingly complex world. My expertise spans ever-evolving areas, from international taxation and estate planning to the structuring and management of real estate investments. I also anticipate and address family disputes, delve into issues related to digital assets, and explore gender-related challenges. Curiosity, creativity, and collaboration with esteemed colleagues I both value and respect: that is my perfect recipe for professional happiness!
