Personal bio
I am counsel at Teynier Pic, a leading dispute resolution boutique firm. I specialise in international arbitration (commercial and investment) as well as complex international litigations. I have experience of both ad hoc and institutional proceedings conducted under the auspices of the rules of the main arbitral institutions (ICC, LCIA, SCC, ICSID, UNCITRAL), and governed by a variety of procedural and substantive laws. I have also acted in matters of public international law. In addition to my contentious practice, I regularly give strategic advice in relation to pre-contentious matters, including for the design, negotiation, drafting and implementation of dispute resolution agreements. Over the years, I have acted for states, state entities and private companies operating in the fields of energy (including oil and gas), telecommunications, construction, mining, aerospace and the pharmaceutical industry. I also accept arbitrator appointments. Prior to joining Teynier Pic, I spent over 10 years in the international arbitration departments of North American firms (Woods in Montreal; Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom in London and Paris; and Baker Botts in London). I have authored many publications on arbitration and is regularly invited to give conferences and lectures on the topic. I sit on the editorial the boards of the ICC Bulletin and the ADR Perspectives Newsletter, published by the ADR Institute of Canada. I speak English, French and Spanish, and have participated in proceedings in all three languages. I am also fluent in Italian.
