In 2015, he joined the Perreau Avocats law firm where he acts as an expert in construction law, construction insurance and industrial risks on behalf of owners, builders, project managers, design offices, technical controllers and their insurers (decennial and civil liability, damage insurance, construction risk), in the context of out-of-court settlements, legal expertise, and proceedings before state courts or arbitration authorities.
He contributes to the firm's expansion by ensuring the training of junior associates and overseeing legal monitoring.
