About Me
I am a lawyer admitted to the Paris and Mexican Bars. A graduate of the Panthéon-Sorbonne University and the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva, I specialize in international trade law and the resolution of disputes related to international projects involving export, construction, and natural resource development.
Before founding my own firm, I worked in prestigious international law firms in Paris. I have extensive experience in international arbitration, both commercial and investment (ICC, LCIA, ICSID, UNCITRAL), representing companies, states, and public entities in disputes involving the international sale of goods and major projects in the energy sector (oil and gas, hydroelectric, wind, solar, nuclear) and infrastructure across Europe and Latin America.
Passionate about alternative dispute resolution, I am also trained in business mediation and accept appointments as an arbitrator.
I am fluent in English, French, and Spanish.
