ABOUT ME
I am a business lawyer, I hold an LLM from King’s College in London and I practiced law at an international law firm and as an inhouse-counsel of an international company.
I am a qualified teacher of English as a foreign language and have a Diploma in English literature. Recently, I trained as a Business Coach, giving me a deeper understanding of communication and human behaviour within the legal and business environment and allowing me to better assist my clients.
Currently I work with lawyers, notaries and inhouse lawyers helping them improve their legal English skills. I also teach Legal English at two French Universities, Université Paris 2 Panthéon-Assas and l’Université Catholique de Lille.
I was lucky enough to study, live and work on 3 different continents (Europe, Africa and Asia). This rich experience enhanced my multicultural awareness.
I am fluent in three languages: English, French and Dutch and have a good command of Spanish.
I am the President of EULETA, the European Legal English Teachers’ Association and a member of Clarity, an international association promoting plain legal language.
