Full CV available on request
I am a legal expert, lecturer, and consultant with over two decades of experience in cross-border family law, private international law, and human rights. Throughout my career, I have worked with EU institutions, governments, and international organizations, shaping policy, training legal professionals, and contributing to legal reforms.
I have provided specialized trainings for the European Commission officials on children’s rights and worked on key legal developments in EU family law. In addition, I serve as an expert witness in complex international cases, advising courts on jurisdictional and cross-border legal matters.
Beyond practice, I am passionate about education and knowledge-sharing. As a Lecturer at The Hague University, I teach and mentor future legal professionals, ensuring they are well-equipped to handle international legal challenges. I also regularly train judges, lawyers, and policymakers across Europe and speak at major legal conferences.
I provide training, research and independent legal opinions in English, Dutch and Bulgarian, with a focus on European and international family law, child protection, international child abduction and private international law.
This may include, for example:
practice-oriented training for legal and non-legal professionals
research or expert input within institutional or project-based work
legal opinions concerning cross-border family law questions in ongoing cases
My work aims to present complex legal frameworks in a clear and practical manner and to support professionals dealing with international family matters.
