02 · BACKGROUND

International experience supporting your projects

Before establishing my practice in Lisbon, I worked at international law firms in Paris, including Clifford Chance, Allen & Overy and Hogan Lovells.

This experience informs my approach: understanding your objectives, identifying the legal issues and advising you with the practical realities of your project in mind.

As an independent lawyer, I prioritise a direct relationship with my clients. When a matter requires it, I coordinate my work with the other professionals involved.
