Interview excerpt · English translation

What is the most common issue faced by the clients you support?

They must make major decisions during a period of considerable instability: separation, parental conflict, criminal proceedings, expatriation or asset restructuring.

My role is to give them a 360° perspective so that they can decide with clarity rather than under pressure.

I prefer to intervene before difficulties arise. This is why consulting a lawyer, at least as a preventive step, is essential to lay the foundations of a strategy, rather than endure proceedings and have to react in urgency.

However, I most often intervene when the harm has already occurred: separation, assault or a child who needs protection.

Rebecca Fisli — interview with Dubai Madame, 25 August 2026. Translated from French.
