What did you study?

After graduating from the Institut d’Etudes Politiques de Paris (1991), I obtained several further qualifications: a certificate in criminology (1993), a French DESS in business and tax law (1994), and a degree in business law consulting in 1994.

What have been the highlights of your career?

I obtained the French CAPA (professional certificate required to practise as a lawyer) in 1995. I have 15 years’ experience as a lawyer in Paris. I’m currently associate lawyer at the firm Racine, where I focus on general business law and issues relating to mergers and acquisitions.

And what about teaching?

For the moment I’ve studied more than I’ve taught. I’m currently a contract lecturer at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes Appliquées au Droit (HEAD) in Paris.
