Having always been attracted to the advisory side of the work of business lawyers, I began my law studies with the ambition of becoming an advisor later. My first professional experiences comforted this choice.
OUTSIDE THE OFFICE
I love reading, with a keen interest in tragedies and history, not forgetting West African literature. I also love art, visiting museums and exhibitions whenever I can. As for sport, I cycle and play football whenever I get the chance.
