INTERNSHIPS

Throughout my studies I have done several 3-months summer law internships in Paris in both law firms and legal department of international companies.

My work consisted principally in providing support to lawyers and heads of departments in research and translation on intellectual property and technology law issues with particular focus on copyright, trademark, software and life science at Latham & Watkins (2005), Binn & Associates, now part of Lavoix (2004) and Cabinet Chatel (2002).

 

At Thales Intellectual property (2003), I reviewed and analysed all of the company’s IP contracts in order to update the group’s contract database. In the legal department of Total (2000) I audited and improved the company’s knowledge management tools.
