What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values corporate governance and offers opportunities for impactful legal work.

I am a dynamic and results-driven Legal & Secretarial Professional with over 18 years of corporate experience. My expertise lies in advising and representing corporate houses on corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and high-value contract negotiations. I have successfully managed arbitration proceedings, corporate restructuring, and legal advisory services, ensuring compliance with statutory requirements.

Throughout my career, I have achieved significant legal victories, including executing a company name change that saved ₹5 crore in stamp duty and registration fees, and recovering ₹62 lakh in outstanding dues through arbitration. My role as a Freelance Legal Consultant allows me to provide tailored legal solutions in Corporate, Commercial, and IPR laws, while also serving as a Content Editor to refine legal documents and research materials.
