What I'm looking for

I seek a role in litigation or white-collar defense at a firm valuing cross-border experience, AI-savvy practice, and opportunities for courtroom advocacy and corporate advisory work.

I am a New York State–admitted attorney with experience across litigation, corporate documentation, and white-collar defense gained in New York, Tel Aviv, and Paris. I draft contracts and governance documents, litigate in court, conduct depositions, and support all stages of complex cases.

My background includes an LL.M. from Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law and a J.D. from Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, with specialized study in white-collar crime, cybercrime, compliance, and corporate law. I co-founded and led AI-focused workshops to train lawyers in ethical AI use and prompt engineering for legal research and drafting.

I bring multilingual capabilities, practical experience with cross-jurisdictional matters, and technical fluency in AI legal tools and standard office platforms to deliver precise legal strategy and client-focused representation.
