Training

I have a law degree from the University of Geneva and a postgraduate degree in criminal law (economic crime), as well as a Master of Laws (LL'M) from the Beasley School of Law of Temple University in Philadelphia (USA).

Professional experience

After obtaining my law degree, I have practiced for several years at the Legal Affairs Department of Environmental Protection of the State of Geneva before I joined the Administrative Court of First Instance as a scientific collaborator.

There, I made drafts of judgments in the field of migration and construction law as well as in more generally in the fields of administrative law: environmental law, town and country planning law, tax law and administrative road traffic law.

I have also practised law of proceedings and bankruptcy as a lawyer in charge of legal management and real estate sales at the Office of Public Prosecutions and as an auxiliary drafter on the Appeals Commission of the HES-SO.
