Qualified law practitioner with expertise in financial services regulation.
MauritiusWhat I'm looking for
I am a qualified and passionate law practitioner with nearly 8 years of experience at the Mauritius Bar. My journey has been marked by a strong commitment to legal excellence, particularly in the financial services sector. I have spent nearly 6 enriching years at the Financial Services Commission, where I have honed my skills in legal counsel, compliance, and regulatory frameworks.
In my current role as Junior Legal Counsel, I represent the Commission in court cases, provide legal advice across various departments, and contribute to the development of policies that enhance our regulatory framework. My recent secondment as Head of Legal and Investigation at the Office of Ombudsperson for Financial Services allowed me to lead investigations and manage complex legal matters, further solidifying my expertise in dispute resolution and legal analysis.
