Speaker

I am an EU regulatory law specialist. With over 20 years' experience, I focus on the circular economy and sustainability, with particular experience in EU product law, including general chemicals, biocides and pesticides, eco-design, electronic and electrical equipment, cosmetics, medical devices and medicinal products law.

I offer a top-to-bottom and back again legal service: I assist clients on EU-wide advocacy campaigns to avoid adverse regulation, litigation before the Courts of Justice of the European Union in Luxembourg, and general every day compliance.

In environmental law, I led on one of the most recent successes before both the General Court and Court of Justice in Luxembourg regarding the unlawful classification of a chemical. As junior advocate at the Scots bar, I assisted on the two 'Brexit' cases in the UK (Gina Miller and Andy Wightman et al). I have spoken widely on Brexit at conferences in Scotland within and outwith the Faculty of Advocates in Scotland. I have also twice given testimony to committees in the Scottish Parliament on that issue.

I am a non-practising member of the Faculty of Advocates and an A-list Belgian lawyer. I speak English (native), French and German.
