I act as counsel in domestic or international arbitration proceedings, ad hoc or institutional (ICC, LCIA, ICSID, SCC, CMAP and UNCITRAL), for States as well as French and foreign companies in disputes in the sectors of energy, construction and engineering, aeronautical, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and hospitality.
I also represent clients in annulment, enforcement and arbitration-related court proceedings before French courts.
I regularly act as an arbitrator.
Besides that, I am the mother of three beautiful children, which is my greatest achievement and also the most challenging ;-)
