Clara Bourgi

Avocat à la Cour

Committed, conscientious, and determined, I am dedicated to defending my clients’ interests. For the past ten years, I have offered them my attentive ear, creativity, and expertise to carefully guide them through complex judicial and administrative proceedings. I am deeply committed to rigorously and effectively developing an appropriate defense strategy, whether in administrative, civil, or criminal matters. I particularly thrive in criminal proceedings, where I must solve not only legal issues but also address organizational and human considerations. Over the years, I have developed in-depth forensic skills to refine my understanding of cases, conduct internal investigations, and respond to requests from judicial authorities, including in the context of international letters rogatory – always with a passionate approach.
