ME IN A MINUTE
I always try to bring my curiosity towards people and different cultures to my professional life
My passion for dispute resolution, which was first sparked as a teenager watching movies such as 'A Few Good Men' or 'The Rainmaker', brought me to law school and has accompanied me ever since.
Over the years I realised my attraction was to the international dimension of human interactions and consequently, legal issues. This led me to study and work in Milan, New York, and Paris as well as learning English, French and Portuguese. Now based in London, dealing with international arbitration, human rights, and ESG matters, I feel I am in the best place to pursue my interests and take advantage of my mixed civil and common law background.
I like to work in a team and understand the specifics of a case, the client's needs, and deliver the result that best matches them. I always try to bring my curiosity towards people and different cultures to my professional life: thankfully, our wide range of clients and diverse team offer me a great opportunity to do that.
