I’m a results-driven legal leader with 15+ years of progressive experience in corporate affairs, contract negotiation, compliance, and regulatory advisory within the energy sector.

I also oversee litigation strategy, coordinate with external counsel, and support matters including arbitration and specialized legal issues.
Earlier, as Legal Counsel and in roles including Legal Business Administrator, Associate at Malouche Law Firm, and Legal Officer at Bureau Unifié d'Automobile Tunisien, I strengthened corporate governance execution (board resolutions and shareholders’ meetings), handled statutory documentation, and managed practical legal operations such as debt portfolio administration, recovery proceedings, and tenant negotiations.
