Your lawyer
The law.
And the people
it affects.
Choosing a lawyer means choosing someone to trust with a situation that matters to you. I want you to feel able to ask questions, understand the available options and make informed decisions.
I qualified as a lawyer in 2023 and practise in Savièse. My work includes legal advice, drafting documents, negotiation and representation before courts, administrative authorities and arbitral tribunals.
Before practising as a lawyer, I worked at Banque Cantonale du Valais from 2012 to 2020. My roles included leading compliance and anti-money laundering activities and serving as Data Protection Officer.
My background combines legal practice with experience of a business’s obligations and day-to-day operations. I draw on that knowledge in the matters entrusted to me.
