Manifesto

A criminal trial is no theatre of expedients. It is the test where a life stands before the State, where freedom is won word by word, and where the victim, too often forgotten, must find her place again. To defend is to carry the words of those who are no longer heard. It is to hold the line of procedure because procedure protects, and to defend nuance when everything pushes towards oversimplification.

Practice

Several fields, the same procedural rigor.

From general criminal law to white-collar crime, including juvenile defense and counter-terrorism: every case calls for rigorous analysis and full commitment.
