What I'm looking for

I seek an in-house or hybrid role where I can apply cross-border corporate and data protection expertise, drive compliance, and contribute to legal process automation.

I am a corporate and data protection lawyer with experience across Switzerland, France, Kazakhstan and Italy, combining in-house counsel work, law firm practice and LegalTech entrepreneurship. I have drafted and reviewed commercial contracts, ensured GDPR compliance, managed insurance and litigation-related processes, and developed an automated platform for legal document generation.

My background includes postgraduate studies in Swiss and European digital markets and data law, practical roles as a business contract lawyer and legal trainee at a multinational group, and junior/tax practice experience advising on corporate and tax matters. I work fluently in English, French and Russian, and I seek roles that leverage my cross-border commercial law, compliance and legal product development strengths.
