ABU DHABI

En résumé

I have been admitted to the Paris Bar in 2013 after completing two years of training programs and examination in the Bar School of Paris. I studied both in France at Sorbonne University and in England at Liverpool University. I got a master’s degree in international business law and my field of expertise is corporate law, commercial law and international arbitration. I am fluently speaking in English considering my education background and my nine months internship in UAE in the Arbitration Center of the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce. I have an intermediate level in Arabic. I am working as legal advisor in ICLO since January 2014 and as Case manager in ADCCAC since January 2013.
