I am from the UK and speak English as my native language. I became a lawyer in 1995 and practised as a specialist in litigation and commercial law until I moved to France with my family in 2005. I have been an instructor and coach in legal English and law since 2006. I teach many senior and expert lawyers in France who use English in their professional life. I also taught for eight years at the Bar School of the Versailles Court of Appeal for eight years, where I gave lectures in Anglo Saxon contract law and legal ethics. I also teach legal and financial English to the CEO of a large, global French company.
