Siham Ouadhi

As a member of the Paris Bar, I am an associate in the Dispute Resolution Group and the White-Collar Crime & Investigations team in Paris.

I joined Bird & Bird in 2024 as an associate.

I assist and represent both French and international clients at all stages of criminal proceedings before criminal courts and regulatory authorities. My practice covers all the main white-collar crime matters such as economic and financial offences, corporate criminal liability, money laundering, bribery, corruption, tax fraud, employment-related criminal matters, cybercrime and data protection breaches.

I also assist clients with internal investigations and help them strengthen their compliance standards by implementing internal policies and procedures (e.g., anti-bribery and corruption protocols, Criminal Finances Act measures, AML/CFT guidelines, and whistleblowing programs) and by delivering tailored training. My role involves conducting legal risk assessments, particularly in the areas of compliance, anti-money laundering, and anti-corruption, to ensure that clients achieve and maintain an adequate level of safety standards.

Before joining Bird & Bird, I completed several internships with prominent law firms specialising in white-collar crime and criminal corporate law, as well as in the economic and financial divisions of various courts.
