Who’s Indie Law?
OUR TEAM
Emmanuel Verraes
LAWYER – MASTER IN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
From an early age I was inspired by music. Music school was nothing for me, but Nirvana and motivation more than compensated for that when I bought my first guitar. Even today, making music is the hobby that gives me the most satisfaction.
Lilas-Siam Farvaque
Lawyer – Master in Intellectual Property
Art is the central and decisive element that has guided me throughout my life. It is more specifically my passion for music that led me to study intellectual property law.
