My Law school and professional experience has given a wider spectrum of opportunities, where our education put in front has given me opportunities to grow enormously in the industry. Where it has opened the gates to my other skills like advisors, mediators, and article writers, having to give my Legal and Tax opinion on events in the media, defend people, be entrepreneurs …, and respect the rules we call deontology.

I am deeply fascinated by all the different aspects of these field, which I have tailored in my own way with a strong international focus.

What prompted your interest in Law profession, how did you form your own law firm ?

When, I began my journey, I never thought I would end up as an attorney-at- law. I genuinely had an interest in business schools. My interest in business school was sparked by the interdisciplinary and international aspects it offered.

However, I enrolled in law school and soon discovered that my passion for independence and intellectual freedom was well-suited for an attorney role. I was immediately drawn to the legal subject matter. It was a real revelation. I couldn’t understand why we hadn’t been taught it before.

After a few years of traveling and putting my education from HEC into practice in auditing and consulting in Geneva, I returned to law as it felt like home to me. In my previous job as a consultant, I worked through a restructuring project, and the work reinvigorated me.

It helped me in all the factors that led me to pursue a career in law, curiosity, finding solutions, creativity and I realized that those years of experiences had prepared me well for this profession.

As a women entrepreneur, what have been some of the biggest challenges you faced that shaped your career ?

You should do ground work and have the clear data to startup any business, it may eat-up your time but you keep yourself more focused on the business. Many people dream about becoming an entrepreneur but the person who is more focused on his dream makes it possible and achieve their goal.

The young aspiring entrepreneur should gain experience before they start their entrepreneurial journey in their particular industry. They should work on strategies by understanding the market scenario and future change that the industry is shortly going to move on.

The society has many expectations of what women should and shouldn’t do, and how they should do it and always have an opinion about that. My point here is women entrepreneur should make their mindset free from then society and step out and mark their foot prints in the industry they choose.

Can you share us about the inception story of Kiavila Avocats and the services provided by the firm ?

In 2019, I opened a small office in Geneva as a Corporate and Tax Law Consultant. Initially, I worked with start-ups in the financial industry that aligned with my Geneva experience. However, after 9 months, a client from Zurich requested my services to represent her in Versailles. This opportunity opened the gate to re-register with the Paris Bar Association and to ask for a registration to the Bern bar Association as a foreign lawyer and embark on my international attorney-at-law journey. We mainly work in Switzerland, France, Ivory Coast and Senegal.
