What I'm looking for

I am looking for a litigation or in-house legal role where I can apply my research and drafting skills, work on complex matters, grow under mentorship, and contribute to a collaborative, ethical team.

I am an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya with hands-on experience in litigation support, legal research, and drafting pleadings, contracts, and legal opinions. I have worked on case bundle preparation, and client interactions while maintaining confidentiality and attention to detail.

I trained at Njuguna and Partners Advocates LLP and served as a legal attachee at Kikuyu Law Courts, where I drafted rulings, conducted judicial research, and managed registry documentation. I combine strong written and verbal communication with critical thinking, adaptability, and a proactive mindset to deliver clear, compliant, and timely legal work.
