Raphaël FERNANDEZ joined W-LEGAL in November 2025, bringing targeted expertise and a people-focused approach to his role as a legal assistant. His professional path has been highly consistent: he gained his first experience while completing a BTS Assistant Manager qualification through a work-study programme at a firm already advising employers on employment law. That initial immersion laid the foundations for his practice. Strengthened by a further six years of experience in the same field, it now enables him to understand the challenges facing businesses and the precision required by legal terminology. His background was also enriched by almost two years spent in New Caledonia and Australia. This experience abroad developed a strong capacity for adaptation and an open-minded outlook that he now brings to the team. He plays a central role in the firm. Responsible for monitoring deadlines and the compliance of procedural documents, he oversees litigation follow-up and maintains regular contact with the courts. A trusted point of contact for clients, Raphaël is committed to building close working relationships. Fully aware of the strategic issues involved in each matter, he favours active listening and high availability in order to support clients and facilitate the day-to-day management of proceedings. A genuine link within the team, he helps streamline internal communication and contributes actively, through his energy and organisational skills, to W-LEGAL’s effectiveness.
