What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can support corporate transactions and compliance, strengthen IP and dispute work, and manage multiple matters efficiently—drafting responses and ensuring timely submissions with strong guidance.

I’m a Legal Associate with experience reviewing regulatory compliance under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code and supporting arbitration matters. I’ve analysed confidentiality obligations under Share Purchase Agreements and assessed enforceability across employment and internal transactional agreements, focusing on risk exposure and regulatory alignment.

I also bring cross-border legal research support from UAE/India/Russia supply contract work, plus structured case management from my immigration internship where I coordinated 10+ matters with timely submissions. With an LLM in Corporate Law and coursework spanning M&A, IP Law, and dispute resolution, I’m motivated to deliver clear, practical legal outcomes under tight timelines.
