Attorney & Mediator in Réunion, Mayotte, and the Indian Ocean region
International Law & Mediation
Who am I?
As a mediator and attorney admitted to the Saint-Pierre Bar Association in Réunion, I assist with the amicable resolution of your disputes under international and French law, in civil, criminal, commercial, administrative, and family matters, as well as in areas related to human rights, in Réunion, Mayotte, and throughout the Indian Ocean region.
I hold an LLM (Master of Laws) in Human Rights and Democratization from the University of Pretoria in South Africa, and a Master II in Public International Law and International Relations from the University of La Réunion.
I am accredited by CMAR-CMAP and registered with the National Center for Attorney Mediation; I serve as a mediator and can assist my clients as a mediation advisor. I seek peaceful and mutually acceptable solutions for all parties.
I work with individuals and businesses and provide you with information about your rights so that you can reach a win-win agreement and avoid the hassle of litigation.
A trial can only resolve points of law, thereby significantly limiting the parties’ prospects for reaching a resolution and effectively stripping them of their dispute. To work together to find a tailored, constructive, and definitive solution, I use amicable negotiation and mediation techniques rather than initiating legal proceedings.
My working languages are French, English, and Portuguese, and I have extensive international professional experience in Brazil, South Africa, Madagascar, Mozambique, and Benin.

A law and mediation firm with a proven track record
A lawyer since 2017, I work with diligence, dedication, and professionalism in the areas of international law, French civil and criminal law, and human rights before trial courts and courts of appeals, ensuring that everyone’s rights and interests are defended and protected.
As a mediator since 2019—with an 80% success rate in mediations conducted to date—I facilitate both voluntary and court-ordered mediations, helping to resolve disputes and reach mutually agreeable settlements.
