APPROACH
- VALUE CREATIONI focus on prevention and early dispute resolution, operating through an agile virtual practice. As counsel, I create value by guiding my clients through procedural, substantive and strategic considerations in dispute resolution informed by data and practical insight.
- OPTIMIZATIONI offer optimal solutions tailored for the unique demands of my clients. To reach a perfect balance between quality, price and the intended result, I incorporate traditional and alternative fee arrangements into our pricing models.
- EFFICIENCYI achieve efficiency by careful prioritization. I focus on the tasks that require bespoke analysis, experience, human intelligence and ingenuity. In implementing repetitive tasks, I rely on modern technologies. Since 2018, I have advised legal technology companies developing digital tools for international law and dispute resolution. I regularly use these tools in my own practice and continue developing new solutions at my legal technology lab.
