About me - Plaise retenir !

Originally from the French eastern coast, I travelled and worked in New Zealand before coming back to Europe, with a little detour via China. I then worked a few years in Germany and in Belgium, and finally ended up in Luxembourg, which is such a great country to live in.

After a very rich experience acquired in several American companies, I decide to go back to university: it will be law! Several years of studies followed, working part-time in parallel, and looking after two young children who grew up with this project.

The reward after ten years of studies: registered at the Luxembourg Bar since 2018, I gained experience in various law firms before starting my own practice.

My approach? listening to customers and serving their best interests.

A fee agreement is concluded for each case, defining the scope of intervention and fixing the fees in agreement with the client, taking into account the nature and the difficulty of the case.

Practice areas

Civil and commercial liability

Whether you are an SME, a trader or an individual, you want to recover your claim: non-payment of invoices or non-performance or improper performance of a contract, wrongful termination of a contract, I can assist you in resolving these disputes.

Lease law

I assist you in recovering unpaid rent, or recovering your rental guarantee that the landlord does not want to return to you, or to help you contest the abusive termination of the lease contract.

Labor law

Whether you are an employer or an employee, it is important to know your rights and obligations arising from the employment relationship, e.g. the notice period in the event of dismissal with notice, or the notice period during the probationary period, your rights in the event of pregnancy at work.

Foreign judgements: exequatur

In certains situations, a decision issued by a foreign court must be recognised in Luxembourg in order to be enforced, and that is called the "exequatur". This is the case for example for a divorce judgment rendered by a US Court, or an Algerian Kafala deed.
