About Sandrine

Senior lawyer and certified DPO, I support SMEs and large groups in structuring their legal organization, regulatory compliance, and securing their activities, in France and internationally.

I have held the positions of Group Legal Manager – DPO, within highly regulated environments, involving the processing of sensitive personal data and clients from demanding sectors (banking, insurance, real estate, services).

I intervene in particular on:
– GDPR compliance (audit, definition and deployment of action plans, governance, dissemination of GDPR culture) for multi-company scopes in Europe,
– Company law and M&A transactions (incorporations, restructurings, mergers, sales, coordination with foreign subsidiaries),
– Negotiation and contractual security (clients, service providers, partners),
– Compliance, ethics, and legal risk management issues.

Pragmatic and solutions-oriented, I act as an external legal manager and/or DPO, for temporary replacement, reinforcement of existing teams, or for specific projects, with a strong understanding of operational and business challenges.

Types of assignments:
- External Legal Manager: structuring and managing the legal function, supporting general and operational management, replacement or reinforcement of teams.
- External DPO / GDPR: compliance audit, definition and implementation of action plans, support for business teams.
- Company Law & M&A: legal monitoring of companies, merger and restructuring operations, coordination of groups including internationally.
- Contracts & Compliance: review, drafting, and negotiation of contracts, implementation of compliance and ethics systems.

I am available for ad hoc or long-term assignments, full-time or part-time.
