What I'm looking for

I seek research-driven legal roles in maritime, IP, or compliance-focused teams that offer mentorship, impactful policy work, and opportunities for scholarly contribution.

I am a dedicated legal researcher and LL.M candidate with strong academic distinctions, including a gold medal and top-of-batch performance in my BA LLB (Hons). I focus on maritime law, intellectual property, and regulatory compliance, combining rigorous research with practical internship experience across institutes and law firms.

My experience includes research internships at the Rashtriya Raksha University centres under senior legal scholars, and legal internships involving statutory compliance, contract review, arbitration research, and internal audit support for corporate clients. I have authored peer-reviewed and conference publications on topics ranging from mergers, AI and digital rights, telemedicine regulation, IP and climate change, to human rights treaty practice.

I bring proven skills in legal research, drafting, policy analysis, and compliance assessment, and I am committed to contributing to institutions that value rigorous legal scholarship, multidisciplinary collaboration, and policy-oriented solutions.
