Sonya Shaykhoun is a native New Yorker who grew up between Manhattan and Southampton, Long Island, with an Irish mother and Egyptian father. Her parents instilled manners and etiquette in her from an early age. Sonya's mother went to finishing school in Switzerland and passed that knowledge on to Sonya and her two siblings.Sonya attended the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, after attending The Dalton School, NY and St. Stephen's, Rome. After four years at St. Andrews, Sonya went down to London to study Arabic and Law at SOAS, University of London. This opened the door for her to work as a NY-attorney in Bahrain and Qatar, where she held senior roles in global iconic companies, navigating global jobs, negotiated multi-million-dollar and multi-billion-dollar contracts (often simultaneously), and handled sensitive investigations and projects. Sonya has an LL.M. in Corporate and Commercial Law and an LL.M. in Corruption, Law and Governance. In Sonya's world, integrity is paramount.Sonya not only has book smarts, but she has street smarts, having had her share of life difficulties - from regularly moving around the world by herself from a young age to shifting jobs and quickly adapting to demanding jobs in commercial satellites and commercial aviation respectively to getting herself and others out of tricky life and/or professional situations (like representing herself in Qatar against bad faith employers and winning).Sonya's many years in rarified environments in far-flung places has taught her the importance of situational awareness, adaptability, discretion and grit.Sonya has nerves of steel and is a recognized senior lawyer, problem solver, and - as the oldest daughter - a lifetime of experience as "the family manager."Sonya speaks English, Arabic, and French, rides horses, plays tennis, and loves red wine.Sonya was awarded an honorary ladyship in 2011. Lady Sonya only uses this title as appropriate according to protocol. Just call me Sonya.

Q: There are many driving and concierge services available. What makes "Girl with a Car unique?A: Most services are transactional and part of the gig economy. We are a professional-grade "Chaos Navigation" firm. Founded by a New York attorney wtih over 20 years of international experience, we provide a level of strategic rigor, discretion, and security that a standard driving service cannot offer. We do not just move people, we manage complex, high-stakes lives.Q: How long has the business been in development?A: While our public launch is Monday, January 26, 2026, this concept has been meticulously crafted for over a year. Our foundational pitch decks and operational frameworks date back to July 2025, with final strategic memos completed in June and October 2025. We believe that high-end service requires a deep blueprint not a reactive start.Q: Why does the founder's legal background matter for a concierge service?A: In the New York and Hamptons markets, our clients value privacy and sophisticated risk management. Being a member of the New York Bar means this business is built on principles of fiduciary duty and professional confidentiality. We bring the same precision to your personal logistics that our founder brought to legal offices from London to Manama to Doha.Q: What is "Chaos Navigation"?A: It is our proprietary philosophy. It is the ability to step into a high-pressure situation - whether it is a logistical crisis or a complex transition - and apply 20+ years of professional tenure to create order out of chaos. It is an asset earned through decades of high-level experience, not something that can be replicated or "taught" overnight.Q: Is this a membership-based service?We operate offer three distinct tiers to accommodate the varying needs of our clientele (see Tiers Section).

1. Fiduciary DiscretionIn an era of oversharing, we operate with the silence of a vault. As a firm led by a member of the New York Bar, our commitment to client privacy isn't a policy, it is a professional oath. We manage your world so you don't have to explain yours.2. Strategic ArchitectureWe do not react; we architect. Every residency link and logistical move is governed by the frameworks we began drafting in July 2025. We apply the rigor of the law to the art of the concierge, ensuring that every detail is stress-tested before the car ever leaves the garage.3. Chaos NavigationWe thrive where complexity resides. Leveraging 20+ years of international tenure - from the legal fora of London to the media hubs of Manama, Doha and Dubai - we bring a "Global-Local" perspective to every challenge. We don't just solve problems; we anticipate them before they manifest.4. Uncompromising TenurePedigree matters. Our standards are set by the halls of St. Andrews and the rigorous requirements of the LL.M. We believe that elite service requires an elite mind. We provide a "Blue Chip" experience that the gig economy simply cannot replicate.
