Paralegal

About Me

As paralegal in the International Aviation Group, I support the team across the commercial and financial deals for which our globally based clients call upon our expertise.

I assist the International Aviation Group in advising airlines, lessors and lenders on finance and operating leasing structures, and in managing transactions until aircraft delivery. I also provide assistance in advising airline clients on UK and EU regulatory issues, with a focus on Regulation 261/2004 matters.

My passion for the aviation sector comes from pilot family members and an international background. I was lucky to begin my career as in-house counsel for Airbus in Toulouse, where I helped customers structure the financing of their aircraft, and contributed to Airbus's record of yearly deliveries in 2017.

I moved to Bird & Bird in 2019 to pursue my interest in the wider sector, and contribute the practical knowledge I acquired during my time at Airbus.

I am fluent in French and English.
