What I'm looking for

I seek roles that combine legal expertise and AI innovation: solving complex commercial or regulatory problems, building ethical legal AI, collaborating with tech teams, and contributing to training and policy development.

I am a lawyer and entrepreneur specializing in legal artificial intelligence, combining frontline judicial experience with AI model training and ethical expertise. I founded DTJ AI to develop and optimize AI applications tailored to the legal field and to publish focused analysis on legal AI.

From 2019 to 2025 I worked at the Cour de cassation (Commercial, financial and economic Chamber), drafting technical memos, preparing complex cases, publishing case law and coordinating cross-functional projects including AI working groups. I have handled matters across banking, financial markets, corporate and insolvency law, commercial contracts, competition, tax and intellectual property.

I hold a PhD in private law and a range of professional qualifications and certifications, including a 2025 certification in artificial intelligence and the French diploma to practise as a lawyer. I teach, train new arrivals and coordinate with IT teams to bridge law, policy and technology responsibly.
