What has been the highlight of your practice over the past 12 months?

Wearing many different hats in a case that involves incapacity and transcends Monaco, into Guernsey. Secondly, a large divorce case worth around €4bn, which involves corporate and cross jurisdictional challenges.

How did you get into private client?

In Monaco there are very few lawyers, with around 33 admitted to the court. We practice a little of everything in Monaco, but the type of clientele residing or wanting to reside in Monaco dictate the need for private client work.

Do you have any outside interests or hobbies?

Travelling. Nature walks. From 2003-2013, I was an MP for 10 years in Monaco (Chair of Foreign Affairs Committee) – so I am very interested in politics.
