Back to original languageAbout Widad
Graduated with a Master's degree in Business Law – specializing in compliance and corporate criminal law – as well as a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Law and Criminology, I have developed solid expertise in compliance, business ethics, and corporate criminal law.
As an ethics and compliance lawyer, compliance officer, and consultant, I assist French and international companies in complying with major regulations: Sapin II law, US FCPA, UK Bribery Act, AML/CFT, GDPR, etc.
My support combines legal rigor with an operational approach to design and deploy robust, pragmatic solutions adapted to the realities of businesses.
I have a dual specialization:
- In criminal law, for all criminal and quasi-criminal matters that may arise in a company's operations (fraud, abuse of corporate assets, money laundering, etc.)
- In compliance, allowing me to intervene on a wide range of topics:
• Fight against corruption (prevention and detection, risk mapping, code of conduct, internal whistleblowing, third-party due diligence, training for employees exposed to corruption risks, disciplinary procedures, internal control and evaluation system, etc.)
• AML/CFT (knowledge of KYC/KYS standards, internal controls, regulatory watch)
• GDPR (personal data protection, governance, audits)
• CSR and business ethics (internal policies, training, strategic advice)
I bring a personalized approach, at the intersection of law and business challenges, to secure corporate practices and make compliance a lever for sustainable performance and trust.
