Area of expertise: domain names (protection strategy, and disputes), online brand protection; and arbitration of disputes related to intellectual property rights.

I have been working in the brand protection industry since 2002 both in the private sector and in academia. My Ph.D. thesis deals with alternative methods of settling disputes relating to intellectual property rights.

I advise parties on IP-related arbitration issues, and complex extra-judicial cases relating to domain names. I participated in several ICC international arbitration proceedings, with seats in Paris and London, involving questions relating to the connection between arbitration law and IP law.
