Ombeline began her university studies at the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy in Limoges (Haute-Vienne). This initial training, with its rigorous selection process, gave her a scientific background in chemistry, biology and physics.

 

Ombeline then turned to law studies, which she validated with a Master II in health law and a Master II in private law, respectively obtained at the Faculty of Law of Poitiers (Vienne) and the Faculty of Law of Paris I - La Sorbonne, before becoming a lawyer and registering at the Paris Bar in 2010.

 

In line with her dual training and the experience she has gained through her advisory and litigation work, in which she has represented several leading French and international laboratories and companies, Ombeline has specialised in

 

  • patent law and civil litigation, in the pharmaceutical field (for generic laboratories but also for innovative laboratories in cases concerning molecules derived from biotechnology), medical devices, but also in other technologies (telecommunications and mechanics in particular);

 

 

  • pharmaceutical law in all its regulatory aspects,

 

  • product liability law (in all areas of industry: cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food processing, mechanical engineering).

 

In addition to French, which is her mother tongue, Ombeline is fluent in English.
