Practitioner,
before consultant.
Founder of Pills. since 2020, I lead each engagement personally. My conviction: the law produces value when it meets the reality of the business, not the other way around.
From practising law
to operational law.
10 years in law firms, on cross-border files in pharmaceuticals, chemicals and medical devices. That's where I learned the technique of the law and the rigour of multi-jurisdictional work.
Then Head of Legal. That's where I understood the difference between producing law and making law useful: requests landing in, priorities being negotiated, missing tools and absent indicators.
In 2020, I founded Pills. to build what I never had: a partner who speaks both languages, without overplaying either consulting or technology.
and in-house

Filling a gap
no one was filling.
My experience in private practice and then in-house made me notice 3 things.
Legal work is massive but invisible. It produces what secures an organisation's or a private practice's activity: its commitments, its compliance, its risks. No one measures what is produced, or what it costs.
The tools already exist. The Microsoft 365 stack rolled out across most organisations contains everything needed to build a CLM, a structured file management, a conversational assistant. No one activates it.
Methods to reorganise the legal function are either too theoretical (a 3-month diagnostic that ends in PowerPoint), or too technological (a SaaS edition never properly configured).
Pills. was born to fill that gap. A method framed in time, built on the infrastructure you already have. Led personally from start to finish.
Three principles,
held on every engagement.
From the first conversation to the last deliverable, it's the same person. No handoff, no shifting team.
Every phase produces something usable. Not 3 months describing what's wrong.
Every deliverable is built to work without us. The goal: that you no longer need Pills.
What they say about us.
