Career

Professional background

My career began in the French notarial profession. After obtaining the Diplôme Supérieur de Notariat from the Université Jean-Moulin Lyon 3, I worked at well-regarded notarial offices in Lyon and then in Paris, focusing on international estate matters, tax-efficient succession planning, and property transactions in France.

I then moved into legal practice, joining the Paris office of an international business law firm in the Corporate and M&A department. As part of the Franco-German practice group, I advised German companies on their business activities and investments in France.

In 2024, I founded my own practice and now advise German-speaking and English-speaking private clients on French real estate law and inheritance law. I particularly enjoy handling complex cross-border matters, where my notarial background allows me to bring real added value to my clients. I also greatly value the personal contact with my clients and consider it a privilege to advise them at important stages of their lives.
