Profile
Professor of Family Law at the University of Lubumbashi and Senior Attorney at Law in the
Democratic Republic of the Congo, I am authorized to advise and represent clients in family
law and related matters. With over twenty years of practice, I specialize in adoption,
succession, and family law, consistently demonstrating commitment to serving families and
resolving complex legal challenges with compassion and expertise. A significant portion of
my work has involved cases with international dimensions, including cross border adoption
processes and succession disputes requiring careful navigation of multiple legal systems.
These experiences have honed my ability to address intricate international family law issues
with integrity and competence. Since then, I have combined practice with academia,
mentoring future practitioners and contributing to the scholarly development of family law.
My professional standing, nationally and internationally, reflects dedication to fairness,
inclusivity, and ethical governance in the evolving field of family law.
