I like to try new things, and my curiosity, which sometimes knows no limits, led me to photography. A good photograph tells a story. In the same way, people and companies write their own stories and I enjoy writing them with them. That's why I'm fascinated by the areas of advertising law and personal data protection, which bring stories to life. In addition, I specialise in contractual obligations and consumer law (including e-commerce projects and administrative proceedings) with a focus on the automotive and cosmetics industries. When I'm not travelling (or at least pointing my finger on the map), you'll find me in the water, on my bike or running, i.e. at a triathlon.

As a young footballer, my coach often criticised me for not committing enough to defence. It’s unsurprising then that I never made it to the level of Real Madrid. These days, I channel my love of the game through the legal field – it’s no longer about scoring goals or making assists, but rather navigating the rules and regulations of the industry. My hobbies like sports, e-sports, gaming, media, tech, and IP have evolved into my day-to-day work at H&P. Prior to joining the firm, I gained valuable experience at an esports agency, handling player contracts and transfers.

My current line of work is an example of a rare positive impact of the covid pandemic. When I was bored at home in isolation with an asymptomatic coronavirus infection, it occurred to me that it might be interesting to dust off my programming skills and create a script to automatically identify the companies. Then I was intrigued by the idea of building on that to create an application to automate the preparation of legal documents. And then ChatGPT and the wave of artificial intelligence came along and I realised there was no going back. So I rebranded myself from being an attorney to being a legal technologist, and I'm happy to be moving forward.

I knew I wanted to go into the field of law when I was in elementary school. Of course, I had no idea what it would entail and expected the word "objection" to follow me more often than it actually did. Nevertheless, I am convinced that I made the right choice, and I continue to maintain my initial fervor. I have long focused on consumer law and legal specifics in the automotive industry.

I enjoy learning about the still unexplored corners of private law and the commercial aspects of our clients' practices, and I prefer to set up and negotiate any commercial agreements, especially those involving technology or intellectual property. My children still make me approach things practically enough and with an eye for detail, my penchant for playing the ukulele trains my patience and pursuit of precision, and travelling gives me the opportunity to take things easy. I try to make the most of it all when providing legal services, which I do not consider boring in the least, as some might think.

I chose to study law because of my affection for history, politics and social sciences. I am mainly interested in privacy and data protection law, together with consumer protection law. I prefer to spend my leisure time away from monitors and displays, travelling, reading, taking photos and doing sports, such as chess, which is fortunately now also considered a sport.
