Zohra Belkadi

What does your role entail at lecocqassociate?

I am the link between the client and the lawyers.  I support them in all administrative matters such as filing, keeping legal documents in order, and whatever they need!

Tell us about your academic and professional background.

I did a training in legal and judicial assistance for 2 years in the national school of law and procedure for lawyers' staff, followed by a BTS in notary in Lyon.

I also have a degree in fashion design that I obtained in 2013 in the superior school of arts and techniques of fashion (ESMOD).

Thanks to my diplomas, I could diversify my professional experiences.

I worked for 3 years in criminal law firms and 2 years at Alcaix & Associate a notary office, a very rewarding experience.

What do you consider to be your biggest professional achievement?

My career transition. I went from fashion week to closed hearings, from clothes to evidence. A gap between the two, through which I jumped with momentum and back on my feet without breaking a nail.

What is the most impactful thing you have done?

A survival course in the Amazon, jumping in murky water infested with aligators. No fear (ok maybe a little).

How many languages do you speak?

Français, English, Arabic, and I speak a little Spanish.

What drives you?

To challenge myself always more, that makes me alive.

Business aside, what do you enjoy doing when you are not in the office?

To take a 48 hour bag and travel, or a sport bag and go to the gym and pretend, or better yet, go buy a new bag.

What is your secret talent?

“I am a lucid dreamer” (I can control my dreams).  A bit like Leonardo in Inception, but less complicated!  It's weird I know!!
