Attorney – Senior associate
Profile
I am a lawyer since 2017. I started my career at Linklaters and continued at CMS (two business law firms where I specialised in employment law), before joining Yelaw in 2026.
What defines me:
✔ Dedication and commitment are at the heart of my work approach. I enjoy getting fully involved in the matters entrusted to me, carefully considering the specific challenges in each situation and providing precise, pragmatic solutions tailored to our clients’ needs.
✔ I am passionate about employment law, a field I particularly appreciate for its breadth, technical complexity and deeply human dimension. The diversity of situations encountered, combined with the need to reconcile legal expertise with an understanding of practical realities, is what makes this an area of law I particularly enjoy working in.
✔ Outside of my legal practice, I enjoy discovering new places and experiences. I love browsing vintage shops, discovering new restaurants and cafés, and sharing a good brunch or dinner with friends. I am also always keen to get away and explore somewhere new.
