Maud Tortu grew up in the City of Lights (Paris, France). She received a law degree from the University of Paris II (JD equivalent and Masters) and her second Masters of Law (LL.M) from UCLA School of Law with a specialization in International Law. Through her professional experiences as in-house legal counsel where she acquired extensive knowledge on project management and strategy consulting, she worked with clients from all over the world, from Asia to the United States and throughout the Middle East and Europe. She was in charge of substantial projects, restructuring and recapitalizing existing companies. She acted as a link between outside counsels and internal departments and was always part of strategic discussions on how to position her clients depending on local markets. 

Maud also advised friends and family on renovation projects located in Paris, Bordeaux, and on beautiful Oleron Island located on the West Coast of France. She keeps the style of the region where the properties are located—always adding an international touch inherent to her personality along with what she saw during her extensive travels. Maud's exposure to different cultures makes her communication skills and open mind a strong asset to the company—as well as its clients.
