I support clients on their IP, IT and AI-related projects, helping them navigate the increasingly complex legal landscape. My aim is to translate complex legal requirements into clear and actionable advice.
I am specialised in intellectual property law (copyright, trademarks, designs, patents, databases and domain names), trade secrets and unfair competition. I regularly draft and negotiate IT contracts, such as regarding the development, implementation and licensing of software, apps and technology.
I also have deep expertise in AI law and governance. As a Certified AI Compliance Officer (CAICO), I help organisations prepare for and comply with the EU AI Act and related frameworks. I further advise on digital services (DSA), cybersecurity (NIS, DORA), digital finance (FinTech) and data law (GDPR, Data Act, Data Governance Act).
I graduated with a Law degree from the University of Antwerp and completed an Executive Master in Law and Artificial Intelligence. Prior to joining Timelex, I worked at the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) as an absolute grounds decision taker and was involved in research on AI and intellectual property rights.
You can book me for the following calls:
-15 minute call: short introductory call to discuss a smaller legal issue (e.g. a quick IP or contract question)
-30 minute call: 30 minute call: introductory call to discuss a more substantial project and set-up for collaboration (e.g. AI compliance, an IP strategy or IT contract negotiation)
