Helping you succeed in tomorrow's world

With an academic background in European public law and practical experience in banking and financial litigation, I want to bridge the gap between regulators and the financial sector and translate supervisory regulation into clear steps that work for our clients.

Whether it’s licensing, product structuring or engagement with supervisory authorities, I aim to create a constructive dialogue so that clients can move quickly and confidently in a fast-evolving environment.
