For twenty years, I practised as a lawyer at the Brussels Bar, focusing on issues at the intersection of law, technology and information. In 2009, I set up my own practice, advising individuals, public authorities and businesses of different sizes. Over time, I developed a particular focus on data protection and privacy, internet and media law, alongside commercial and contract law.

ICT law does not fit neatly within a single branch of law. It cuts across different legal fields, just as technology transforms almost every aspect of our daily lives and society. This gave me a first-hand view of how law and technology affect businesses, public organisations and individuals, including their fundamental rights.

I have long been interested in the relationship between technology, law and society. In 2013, I wrote about automated journalism and, in 2014, about the monitoring of digital reading, exploring issues of intellectual freedom, privacy, freedom of expression and access to information. Technologies have changed since then, and new questions have emerged, but the underlying concern remains: what does technological change mean for individuals, institutions and society? How can technology be used to benefit as many people as possible?

Much of this work involved applying European and belgianl frameworks to the practical challenges created by digital technologies and services. It also brought me back to European Union law, which had been a particular focus during the final years of my law degree.

Working in ICT law requires keeping up with regulatory developments at both national and European level. With the field evolving so quickly, anticipating change is essential. Legal practice itself has also changed: cases have become more complex, and the amount of information lawyers need to handle has grown considerably.

This experience now informs my growing interest in EU digital legislation and policy. At the same time, I am developing a more technical perspective through studies in computer science, Python and web development. My current projects explore how programming, structured data and knowledge organization can provide new ways of working, particularly with legal and regulatory information.

Across these different activities, I remain interested in the same challenge: finding better ways to navigate complex information, connect knowledge, understand technological and regulatory change, and communicate it clearly.
