About

I am an enthusiastic legal professional with over 15 years of experience, specializing in a diverse range of legal disciplines, including Corporate and Commercial Law, as well as Sports, Entertainment, and Quality of Life matters. My unique combination of legal expertise and real-world experience sets me apart in the legal field. My educational background includes a BSc in International Law from Beirut Arab University, and I am a registered member of the Beirut Bar Association, as well as, a legal consultant at the government of Dubai legal affairs department. Additionally, I have completed advanced diplomas in Commercial Mediation and Media and Public Relations, further enhancing my skills. Throughout my career, I have worked for prestigious law firms in Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. I have successfully navigated complex legal landscapes, drafting contracts, overseeing arbitration cases, and building strong relationships with government authorities and ministries. In addition to my legal career, I have achieved remarkable success in the sports arena. As a Muay Thai Gold Medalist World Champion, I understand the value of discipline, determination, and teamwork. These attributes have greatly contributed to my success as a legal professional. I am deeply committed to my community and have served as a member in the Legal department of the Lebanese Olympic Committee. I have also taken on leadership roles in various sports federations, including serving as the President of the Legal Committee in the Lebanese Thai-Boxing Federation. My passion for martial arts extends beyond competition, as I am a certified Martial Arts Instructor for kids, helping them develop physical and mental abilities. In addition to my sports involvement, I am an Arabic teacher for foreigners at the London Arabic School in the United Kingdom. One of my significant achievements is my thesis on Juveniles Detention, in which I collaborated with the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Social Work to conduct a comparative analysis of the previous and new applicable laws, ultimately contributing to a more humane system for sentenced children. Let's connect and explore how we can collaborate and make a difference together.
