Signature Litigation AARPI

International Arbitration

Flore is an international arbitration partner based in Paris. She has significant experience representing parties in international mediation and arbitration proceedings. She also sits as an arbitrator.

She regularly acts in shareholder or post-acquisition disputes for private-equity firms and more generally in the scope of the termination of agreements related to changes in economic (e.g. force majeure allegations) or legal (in particular, sanctions) circumstances for industrial clients. She has notable experience in the defence and energy sectors (LNG and nuclear) and has recently assisted several companies in disputes resulting from the termination of agreements related to major IT projects (ERP deployment, IT outsourcing).

Flore has a very pragmatic approach to arbitration as she has spent 18 months on secondment with a client’s litigation and claim management team in the defence sector, and is a business and finance graduate on top of her law degree. Flore’s procedural management skills are a valuable asset in expedited proceedings, as well as in time-sensitive disputes where a quick resolution is desired. She has solid experience in the enforcement of arbitral awards in France including seizing assets.

Flore is ranked as a ‘Next Generation Partner’ for international arbitration in The Legal 500 EMEA 2024 Guide, where she is praised as “a fantastic arbitration expert” who “delivers high quality work product and great client service.” She is further described as “sharp, focused and thorough in her work”, and a referee notes Flore is “definitively an international arbitration star.” Flore is also recognised in the Lexology Index (formerly Who’s Who Legal) for arbitration, in which she is highlighted as “very responsive, efficient and thorough,” as well as “a dynamic and fierce advocate.” Flore is also commended as “not only very bright but also very dedicated to the client’s success – she is a fighter who does not give up.”

Flore is a very active member of the arbitration community; she co-founded Paris Very Young Arbitration Practitioners in 2012 and was a co-chair of the LCIA-YIAG (Young International Arbitration Group of the London Court of International Arbitration) from 2017 to 2021.

She has also taught at the Paris Bar School and at various universities and schools (Paris X, Paris XII, Paris-Saclay (MACI) and ESCP Europe).
She was admitted to the Paris bar in 2008.
