Mr. Duran joined Provinziano & Associates in 2025, where he continues to apply his extensive trial experience to complex family law matters. Residing in Paris, he brings a unique international perspective to the firm, particularly in cases involving cross-border custody, jurisdictional issues, and international divorce.
