A doctoral researcher in business law, he is preparing two doctoral theses in parallel: one at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, under the supervision of Professor François-Xavier Lucas, on the prospects for the development of company law and insolvency law opened up by Morocco's accession to OHADA; the other at the Faculté polydisciplinaire de Béni Mellal (Université Sultan Moulay Slimane), on the handling of the difficulties of SMEs in times of major crises, from a comparative law perspective.
