Leila El Gharbi's Linkedin Analytics

Recovering (and sometimes relapsing) qualified lawyer turned a Legal Tech and Operations expert! Experienced and resilient qualified lawyer with a unique professional journey in the legal industry. Leveraging 8 years of expertise, I have successfully worked across jurisdictions and gained valuable experience in both private practice and in-house legal departments. Additionally, I had the privilege of working for a legal tech provider, utilizing AI to drive efficiencies and revolutionize legal processes. As the founder of "Beautiful Souls in Legal Tech" I have created a vibrant community that provides a safe and inclusive space for legal professionals. Through storytelling and empowerment, our community helps lawyers embrace their inner queen/royal energy, encouraging them to tap into their full potential. I am passionate about nurturing talent and fostering an environment of growth and support. Fluent in five languages—French, English, Spanish, Arabic, and Italian—I was able to leverage these languages skills to work across jurisdiction from a business perspective but also connect effortlessly with individuals from diverse cultures, fostering meaningful relationships. Before venturing into legal tech, I gained comprehensive experience as a French qualified lawyer, specialising in compliance, corporate law, finance, employment law, GDPR, and commercial contracts. Working cross-functionally and cross-jurisdictionally, I honed agility and adaptability, delivering meticulous attention to detail under tight deadlines. Beyond the legal field, I have worked across various industries—hostess, waitress, corporate receptionist, brand ambassador, nanny, and private tutor—developing exceptional skills in commercial awareness, adaptability, out-of-the-box thinking, effective communication, and unwavering resilience. On a more personal note #FunFact : My favourite phrase is: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" (Lao Tzu) And incidentally, in June 2018, I embarked on an extraordinary 1000-mile hike (1700km) across France and Spain, known as the Camino de Santiago de Compostela. What was initially planned as a one-week journey turned into an incredible two-and-a-half-month odyssey, teaching me the importance of adaptability, perseverance, and embracing unexpected challenges. Let's connect and collaborate to drive innovation, champion diversity, and empower legal professionals to thrive in the ever-evolving legal landscape.
