I joined Tees in March 2024 to work alongside experienced Advocate Hervé Blatry and assist with various private and business matters.
My role and long experience motivate me to help people, reassure them, and keep them informed. I am more than pleased to liaise with the French bureaucracy on behalf of our clients facing heartbroken and strenuous situations like succession and our clients who need a straightforward transaction like a French will, a sale or purchase of a property.
Excellent French legal advice delivered with clarity and professionalism. Their bilingual expertise and understanding of both UK and French law made a complex process straightforward and stress-free.
I am a French citizen fluent in Italian and the mother of three trilingual daughters. I studied in Paris, Sorbonne Nouvelle, and gained a degree in language and civilization. I worked for over 20 years as an office and executive manager in the Architecture industry, assisting renowned architects with their finance and administration. I enjoyed developing strong relationships with staff, clients, and suppliers. I am a very personable and diplomatic person.
