Kenya Pigneret was called to the Brussels Bar in January 2020. She completed her internship with the Altea law firm, with Catherine de Bouyalski (Immigration and International Family Law team), and primarily practices international private law, international family law, nationality law and immigration law.
Before being called to the bar, she acquired experience in immigration law and human rights law thanks to several experiences in the non-profit sector.

She also had an internship with Lawyers Without Borders Belgium.
