Profile
Valentine Maire, attorney-at-law
A rigorous practice with an international outlook.
After earning a postgraduate degree in international relations from Geneva’s Graduate Institute of International Studies, Valentine Maire qualified as an attorney-at-law at a leading Geneva commercial law firm.
Her work at Lalive, the Swiss Embassy and the Faculty of Law in Buenos Aires shaped a practice that combines legal rigour with an international perspective. She later specialised in energy law and spent almost ten years in strategic legal roles for two major energy companies in French-speaking Switzerland.
She founded her own firm in Lausanne in 2020 and now practises at Antaria. Since 2023, she has also taught law and employment law at HEIG-VD.
