About Caterina

Hello, I’m Caterina. I founded my international divorce and family law practice to serve clients who need expert, empathetic, and multilingual support — English-speaking expats and foreign nationals with family or divorce matters in France.

With over a decade of experience in international family law, I provide strategic legal advice and representation across borders. Having lived between England, France, and Italy, I understand the challenges of living abroad — from navigating multiple legal systems to overcoming cultural and language barriers. I bring that insight to every client relationship, ensuring you receive not just legal expertise, but true understanding.

International Expertise

As a registered lawyer at the Paris Bar and an officially listed English-speaking attorney with the US, UK, and Australian Embassies, Caterina offers international families the clarity and confidence they need in challenging times. She regularly advises clients on:

• International divorce and separation
• Child custody and relocation disputes
• Cross-border family agreements
• Enforcement of foreign judgments in France
• Financial and property settlements involving multiple jurisdictions

Why Caterina Focuses on Expats

“I focus on expats because I’ve been one myself.” Growing up between England, France, and a German-speaking region of Italy, Caterina is fluent in English, French, Italian, and German. Her multicultural background allows her to connect naturally with international clients and anticipate the unique personal and procedural challenges they face in France’s legal system.

Our Values

Client Relationships Matter

Strong client relationships are the foundation of Caterina’s practice. Every strategy is designed collaboratively, with an emphasis on transparency, communication, and trust.

Accessible, Top-Quality Legal Services

Caterina believes that excellent legal advice should be accessible and predictable. Where possible, she offers flat-fee packages so clients know exactly what to expect — clear pricing, clear guidance, and no hidden fees. (Please note: the firm does not handle legal aid cases.)

Smart & Effective Legal Solutions

Combining academic excellence with practical insight, Caterina stays at the forefront of international family law developments. She prioritises amicable dispute resolution but is fully prepared to litigate when required — always with precision, professionalism, and empathy.

Why Clients Choose Caterina

Clients value Caterina for her strategic thinking, compassion, and cultural fluency. She bridges legal systems and languages with ease, offering practical, multilingual guidance that helps clients move forward with confidence and clarity. Her goal is always to reduce the stress of complex family matters and secure the most positive possible outcomes — efficiently, respectfully, and intelligently.
