Professional background

I advise healthcare companies on topics related to health regulations, litigation, research, drafting and negotiating of contracts.

I began my career in 1998 as a corporate lawyer for Roche and Schering-Plough, before practising within the "Healthcare Industry" department of Courtois Lebel from 2007. I then developed my own business before joining Fieldfisher Paris in 2016 as Of Counsel.

I speak French and English.
