About Me

I am an Associate Lawyer in the Paris office and a member of the Aviation Finance team. I am involved in a wide range of transactions covering mainly commercial aircraft, but also helicopters, engines and spare parts. I also cover leasing and financing transactions, as well as number of corporate matters.

Providing both English and French Law advice, I assist major airlines with novation, leasing (whether operating or financial leases, including the review of LOIs), financing transactions (including green finance and various insurance products (such as Balthazar).

I also assist lessors, particularly with the setting up and operation of special purpose companies (SPVs).

I enjoy being a part of a multicultural team. We provide French, English and Irish Law advice and we speak French, English, Russian, Arabic and Spanish.

We have a very close relationship with our clients, and we always aim to protect their best interest.
