Admitted to the Paris & California Bars
Your English-speaking lawyer in France.
Assertive, strategic representation in international divorce and workplace discrimination — with full command of both the French and American legal systems.
Who I help
A rare position at the crossroads of two legal systems.
I am one of the few attorneys admitted to both the French and California Bars. For over a decade I have guided English-speaking clients through the French courts — Americans living in Paris, expatriates, and international families who need counsel who speaks their language and knows both worlds.
Most attorneys can offer you one side of the Atlantic. I have spent my career working across both — which means fewer surprises, fewer things lost in translation, and a strategy built around how the two systems actually interact, not just one of them.
