Aspiring legal professional specializing in insolvency and restructuring.
What I'm looking for
I am an aspiring legal professional currently pursuing a BBA, LLB at Bennett University, where I have excelled academically with a grade of 8.08/10. My education has equipped me with a solid foundation in various legal domains, particularly in insolvency and bankruptcy law, corporate finance, and contract law. I have a keen interest in the intricacies of legal frameworks and their practical applications, which I have explored through various internships.
Throughout my internships, I have gained hands-on experience in managing insolvency and restructuring cases, conducting legal research, and drafting legal documents. My role as an Associate at the Chambers of Sumant Batra has allowed me to engage directly with clients and contribute to strategic case planning. I have also worked with prestigious organizations like INSOL International and EY, where I researched international insolvency regulations and assisted in compliance reviews. My commitment to legal excellence is reflected in my publications and active participation in legal competitions.
