What I'm looking for

I’m looking to bring my multi-jurisdictional commercial legal practice—fast contract turnaround, playbook compliance, privacy and IP protection—to a fast-paced managed-services environment with consistent SLA-grade delivery.

I’m a commercially astute Senior Legal Counsel with 7 years of post-qualification experience, independently leading complex, multi-jurisdictional legal matters across India, UAE (DIFC), UK, and the US. I combine high-value transaction execution with high-volume, deadline-driven contract throughput—without sacrificing accuracy or playbook compliance.

Across my work, I’ve negotiated and closed 100+ complex commercial agreements, including a 30-day turnaround on complex SaaS/licensing and a 40-day compressed timeline for cross-border IP assignment and technology transfer. I’ve also structured and advised on high-stakes corporate and infrastructure matters (including EPC-style structuring for an INR 14,000 Cr project) and closed INR 200 Cr+ transactions, while managing 50+ real estate transactions for a leading global fast-food chain.

My core strengths include commercial contract negotiation & drafting, corporate transactions & due diligence, entity structuring, regulatory compliance & licensing, and risk assessment & mitigation. I’m also deeply hands-on with data privacy (GDPR / DPDP Act 2023), IP portfolio management, and contract lifecycle management—using modern legal tech and AI-assisted tools (Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT) alongside digital contract workflows, electronic signature processes, and structured repositories.

I’m trusted to own end-to-end legal mandates with minimal supervision, manage external counsel, and coordinate across multiple concurrent client engagements. I also support capability-building by updating contracting guides and training junior associates on contract standards, escalation protocols, and file management.
