A member of the Monaco Bar since 1997 and Avocat-Défenseur since 2005, Me Géraldine Gazo holds a Juris Doctor degree.

She specialises in private international law and criminal law, areas in which she has an unparalleled expertise.

She has also been a member of the French Committee on Private International Law since 2018. On criminal law, she has been acting for numerous years before Monegasque criminal courts in complex matters, including involving parallel proceedings in several different States.

Beyond her activities as counsel, Me Géraldine Gazo is also an active member of the Economic and Social Council of the Principality of Monaco, of which she presides the Financial Affairs Section. She has been representing the Principality of Monaco at the International Court of Arbitration of the ICC in Paris since 2002.
