A companion of Orne RPR senator Daniel Goulet (1928-2007), she became his parliamentary assistant in 1999,[3] before deputising for him from September 23, 2001. She married him in 2004.

After studying law, Nathalie Milsztein joined the Paris Bar.

Disbarred in January 2000 by the Paris Bar Council for serious breaches of professional ethics, a decision upheld on appeal in 2006,[4] she lodged an appeal in cassation[5] and was re-admitted to the Paris Bar in 2011. In December 2011, she applied for and obtained her omission.[6]

In 2014, on her declaration of interests to the Haute Autorité pour la transparence de la vie publique, she declares that she no longer has any income as a lawyer and does not engage in any ancillary activities.[7]
