She supports clients from, among others, the film, advertising, publishing and fashion industries, both in terms of day-to-day operations and in the course of negotiating and concluding contracts and in litigation.
Since childhood, she has loved drawing, singing and performing on stage. She has managed to compensate for her questionable talent for each of these fields by working with the creative industry, which gives her immense satisfaction.
Professionally, she feels most comfortable in the courtroom. After hours, she also loves more traditional theatre, less and more conventional art, and recharges her batteries by sailing, rollerblading and travelling.
