Farshid Farouk

My area of expertise

I help our clients navigate challenging jurisdictions in the Middle East and North Africa. As a French-Iranian national having grown up in Dubai, I have experience in conducting complex investigations in the Maghreb, Lebanon, the UAE, and Iran. My work frequently examines the crossover between politics and business, as well as the sanctions exposure our clients face ahead of a prospective engagement.

Why I love what I do

Our work is an important factor for our clients to prevent money laundering, terrorism financing, and other financial crimes. I feel a sense of duty in helping companies make the right decisions when considering an investment in complex and volatile regions like the Middle East and North Africa – and I love that I am able to do so.
