At the same time, worldwide markets are experiencing unprecedented technological change and innovation. Nicolette deepens our capabilities in many areas that will be fundamental to our clients’ abilities to successfully address these challenges.”
Kost De Sevres earned a PhD from the University of New South Wales on the correlation between finance, technology, and regulation. She received her LLM and JD from the University of Montreal and a certificate in UE law from King’s College London.
