What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply litigation and advisory skills, continue professional growth, and work in a collaborative, impact-driven legal team.

I also want to grow career wise and learn new things in the process.

I am an Advocate with practical experience across civil litigation, contract law, conveyancing and legal advisory roles gained through internships, pupillage and in-house counsel work.

I have supported court processes at the Court of Appeal, acted as in-house legal counsel at Pioneer General Insurance, and completed pupillage as part of my Advocates Training Program.

I combine strong research and drafting skills with community engagement and pro bono experience in public awareness, child protection and poverty eradication projects. I am highly self-motivated, organized, and eager to contribute legal expertise to a firm or organization focused on rigorous client representation and community impact.
