Drawing upon over a decade of international trade experience, she regularly advocates for European industries and associations that face unfair competition from abroad on the EU market or that face trade barriers on export markets. Marie-Sophie is also well-versed in the use of international trade rules in Morocco. Based in Brussels, Marie-Sophie advises clients throughout Europe and Africa.
Marie-Sophie’s practice focuses on international trade, with a particular emphasis on trade remedies actions (anti-dumping, anti-subsidy and safeguard proceedings) and lobbying activities.

Her Brussels’ practice has involved the defense of EU associations and industries in lodging trade remedies complaints before the EU Commission.
