Early career 🕰

I started my career as a tax lawyer where I practiced at the Luxembourg Bar as well as the Brussels Bar.

I assisted national and international clients with various tax matters ranging from corporate mergers and acquisitions to large real estate deals and estate planning.

During my time as a traditional lawyer, efficiency, process improvement and long term gain for lawyers, firms and clients have always been my goal.

Seeing the light 💡‍

After five years of practicing traditional law, I got the opportunity to head the legal innovation and technology department at a Big Four law firm. As a legal Innovation and Technology lawyer, I was in the driver’s seat of change and innovation within the firm and the broader network.

My daily tasks focused on creating value for clients through innovation and co-creation. I was part of multiple large technology projects and have experience in the adoption and implementation of legal technology projects.

I quickly gained expertise in change management, legal project management and legal design.

Becoming an entrepreneur 🚀

Becoming an entrepreneur is a dream come true. Being able to do this together with my 2 brothers, even more so.

We work at the intersection of law and technology, and I truly believe that we have the necessary skills and expertise to help transform the legal industry and make law better.

Becoming an entrepreneur is a dream come true.
