Our Team

The Mont Ventoux

The inspiration for the name of the firm comes from the Mont Ventoux, a French mountain in the Provence. It is a challenging mountain to climb for cyclists and has featured in many classic Tour de France stages. Only preparation and perseverance will get you to the top. That is true for the practice of law as well as for conquering the Mont Ventoux on a bicycle.
