[[File:1725728496.jpg|200px|left]] As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a lawyer. My father immigrated to France with almost nothing and toiled tirelessly in the coal mines. In Morocco, he was a geography teacher and instilled in me a desire to explore the world, a dream he was unfortunately unable to fulfill. Despite his hard work and rise to managing director of the mine, he succumbed to a work-related illness. This shaped my path in life, leading me to specialize in employment law and health and safety matters, while also fostering a passion for travel and exploration. I passed the bar exam in 2011 and spent seven years working for major British law firms, gaining invaluable experience. Subsequently, I transitioned to in-house counsel and joined an American communication company based in Paris. I progressed to senior counsel, eventually achieving the role of General Counsel of the Group in under five years. My responsibilities now encompass litigation, business law, contract law, and employment law. I take great pride in being one of the youngest members of the “Montesquieu Circle,” an association of General Counsels from across the country. Located in the eighth arrondissement, my firm helps companies secure their businesses. I conduct numerous training programs for managers and lawyers nationwide, helping them understand the legal risks faced by their companies or clients. In 2024, I partnered with the tax and finance firm Pro-Mandatary LLC in Dubai to assist companies in establishing their businesses in the United Arab Emirates with Ilan Valenti, or to help them set up the most suitable solutions for their businesses. I believe that everything is possible if you believe in yourself. To all aspiring young lawyers, I urge you not to let anyone hold you back. Believe in yourself, explore, travel, and always nurture your curiosity and thirst for knowledge. Please feel free to connect.
