What I'm looking for

I am seeking opportunities that allow me to engage in meaningful legal work, particularly in compliance and policy analysis, within a collaborative and innovative environment.

I am a dedicated legal professional currently pursuing my Bachelor of Laws (LLB) at Jindal Global Law School, where I have been awarded the prestigious Savitri Jindal Scholarship. My academic journey has been enriched by my previous studies at the London School of Economics, where I earned my MSc in International Social and Public Policy, specializing in Migration Studies. My educational background, combined with my practical experiences, has equipped me with a robust understanding of legal frameworks and compliance issues.

Throughout my internships, I have honed my skills in legal research, case analysis, and policy formulation. At Linklaters LLP, I conducted a comprehensive review of Anti-Money Laundering policies, ensuring compliance with UK regulations. My role at the Chambers of Mr. Zoheb Hossain allowed me to delve into financial crime litigation, where I prepared detailed briefing notes and conducted extensive legal research. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute to impactful legal work, particularly in the areas of financial compliance and regulatory frameworks.
