Biography

Francesca practices construction and real estate law, both in an advisory and litigation capacity, and assists major French, Italian and German industrial groups operating in various sectors of the economy in the execution of their real estate transactions. She deals with all aspects related to the award and execution of private contracts for project management, contracts for work and services and real estate development, leasehold contracts and leases on properties yet to be completed (BEFA-bail en état futur d’achevement in short).

In court, Francesca acts in particular in the context of expert witness proceedings and disputes concerning manufacturers’ liability. Her scope of work also extends to public procurement and spatial planning litigation.

In commercial and distribution law, Francesca assists international franchisors in the development and management of their network of French franchisees, providing both advice and litigation in this context.
