I am a seasoned commercial trial lawyer and a corporate risks expert and I have been practicing for over 30 years. I now lead Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner's Business & Corporate litigation team in Paris. My cross-border and multi-jurisdictional litigation practice encompasses a wide range of complex civil and commercial cases before state courts and also arbitration courts. I also regularly practice ADR, including mediation. I have been mostly handling complex, cross-border plain commercial and corporate litigation as well as those with a white-collar crime dimension (fraud, tax evasion, embezzlement, forgery) and/or with an assets recovery angle. Since 2017, I am also helping companies to put in place from scratch- Sapin II compliance programs or to adapt and complete pre-existing US or UK compliance internal rules. I am frequently appointed as expert by the French anti-corruption agency (AFA) to assist them in their investigations as well as in their prosecutor-assigned missions. Finally, I am familiar with E.U. trade sanctions and their interaction with U.S. sanctions.I primarily act for mid-size and large domestic and international corporations in various sectors (food, cosmetic beauty, hospitality, retail and tech companies) as well as a number of financial institutions (banks and insurance carriers).Finally, I am an active Pro Bono contributor. Since 2016, I sit on the Board of the France-based NGO Solidarités International.Professional AffiliationsInternational Association of Restructuring, Insolvency & Bankruptcy Professionals (INSOL) Europe, MemberAssociation pour le Management des Risques et des Assurances de l’Entreprise (AMRAE), Member
