She then joined the firm Coudert Frères (legal counsel and then attorney) as an associate (1988-1997) then partner (1998-2000). For 12 years, she advised both French and foreign clients in the field of mergers and acquisitions, financial law, as well as, since 1996, regulatory and administrative law concerning network industries (telecommunications, energy).

In this role, she most notably took part as an internal counsel for the bank in numerous financial operations (traditional or structured) of French and foreign collectivities, project financing, asset financing, concession financing and public-private partnerships (u.c. AEL, BEH, leasing…).
In December 2005, she became the deputy general counsel for the group LaFarge (world leader in construction material), where she, in particular, worked with financier briefs in regards to compliance (especially in the domain of competition law).
