I am an American and French lawyer. Trained in New York and Paris, I now work in Houston with my firm's international arbitration group, focusing primarily on commercial and investment disputes in the energy and technology sectors.
My experiences working in the United States federal courts, within a United Nations agency, and in the Paris and Houston offices of my firm reflect my continuing interest in finding solutions to cross-border legal issues and have given me a unique perspective into the traditions of many jurisdictions. I maintain strong ties to both the US and Europe and am always eager to make new connections from any corner of the world.
