What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities to grow in legal research, contract work, and compliance within collaborative teams that value mentorship and practical courtroom or corporate exposure.

I am a third-level law student in the partnership program between Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne University and Cairo University, with hands-on internships across corporate and litigation settings.

I have assisted legal teams at Total Energies, Innovo Group, Abdallah & Abu El Naga, and Sorbonne Law School clinics, conducting legal research, drafting contracts, and ensuring regulatory compliance.

My experience spans legal translation (Arabic↔English), contract review, litigation support, and sport law matters, complemented by certifications in prompt engineering for legal professionals and AI in legal work.

I am disciplined, detail-oriented, and driven by a commitment to clear, ethical legal practice and effective client advocacy.
