Excellent solicitor whom I highly recommend. She resolved a very complex matter for me involving a co-ownership association and its managing agent, with a clear strategy. After consulting with numerous solicitors without result, she was the only one who truly took the time to analyse the situation in depth and build a genuine strategy. Responsive, rigorous and very committed, you can trust her implicitly. Thank you Maître Zakine.
