MY CAREER PATH

academic career

As a lawyer at the Barreau de Paris, I obtained my Certificate of Aptitude for the Profession of Lawyer in 2023 after completing dual degrees in labour law and penal law.

Admitted to the École Normale Supérieure in 2013, I also hold degrees in digital law and European law from the Universities of Rennes 1 and Paris 2.

This multidisciplinary training allows me to approach each case with both a legal and strategic perspective.

professional career

After practising as a labour lawyer at the firm 107 Université for four years, I worked in the labour law department of the firm Chammas & Marcheteau for two years, where I refined my strategic approach to advisory services and labour court litigation.

Between 2017 and 2020, I also taught civil law at Paris 2 Panthéon-Assas University and in preparatory classes at ENC Bessières.

Before joining the profession, I also worked for a major sports retailer, in an editorial department and several legal departments, experiences that strengthened my understanding of the work environment.

languages

Depending on your needs, I work equally well in French and English.
