I am a French lawyer admitted to the Paris Bar living in Cologne (Germany) and working in the law firm QIVIVE and as such also attached to the Cologne Bar. I come from Toulouse (France) and attended the Toulouse University of Law and then the ESSEC Business School in Paris. I am also graduated from the Paris Bar School. I then practiced as a lawyer in leading Parisian law firms. Passionate about the German language and Germanic culture, I joined QIVIVE, which offers me the opportunity to work as a lawyer in Germany and bring my expertise to a German-speaking clientele.. My practice covers the whole range of business litigation (contractual, commercial, financial, IP-related disputes). I also advise on compliance, commercial contracts and distribution.
