Why Me?

I am an engineer with specialized training in contract law, bringing the best of both worlds to my clients during contract negotiations:

  • Contractual Acumen: I have developed a deep understanding of contractual law, enabling me to analyze complex contract structures and identify risks, both from a high-level perspective and within the nuanced details of specific wording.

  • Technical Expertise: Wind energy is a highly technical field. Through hands-on project experience and a commitment to continuous learning, I have gained a deep specialization. This allows me to take a practical, risk-aware approach when reviewing contracts, ensuring that legal provisions align with the realities of project execution.

“This blend of technical / legal skills makes me an effective commercial manager in project development, allowing me to focus on the critical issues and achieve optimal risk allocation on project contracts.”

How I do it?

I believe in partnership and strategic engagement between wind project developpers and their supply chain. That’s why I advocate during contract negotiations for frank and open discussions on risk allocation, avoiding the pitfalls of hiding onerous provisions behind excessive contractual jargon.

I write my contracts in plain, clear language, ensuring that both parties fully understand their commitments. No small print, just clear agreements.

In my work, I bring a can-do attitude, a collaborative and open mindset, and uncompromising commitment to integrity.
