I am German-French and I grew up in Paris. After obtaining the Abibac (combined German Abitur and French baccalaureat school-leaving certificate), I decided to study at the partner universities of Cergy-Pontoise and Düsseldorf. This study as well as my participation in the “European Law Moot Court Competition” during my Master 2 in European law at the Université de Panthéon-Assas, reinforced my wish to work as an Avocate in a German-French environment.
This is what I have been doing since January 2018. I provide advice to companies or private individuals, in particular in individual and collective French labour law and in litigation before French courts. In my profession, I am particularly enthusiastic about helping clients to find the best solution in the twists and turns of French labour law, while explaining to them the cultural differences between my two home countries.
