Tell us about your academic and professional background.

I first earned a diploma from a business school. Afterwards, I enrolled in law school at the University of Geneva and passed the Geneva bar in February 2023.

Before passing the bar exam, I gained valuable experience as a legal advisor for an accounting expert and worked in the compliance department of a leading Swiss private bank. I also completed an eighteen-month traineeship at a Geneva-based law firm specializing in litigation and commercial law.

After passing the Geneva bar, I joined a law firm focusing on corporate liability, contract drafting, and criminal law.

These diverse experiences have equipped me with a wide range of legal skills, which I now apply in my role at lecocqassociate.
