What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can provide strategic legal counsel in corporate/commercial law, lead contract and IP work, implement compliance programs, mentor teams, and support growing tech-focused organisations.

I am a senior legal professional with over 8 years' experience in corporate and commercial law, contract management, intellectual property, and regulatory compliance. I have supported high-growth tech clients and global organisations with drafting and negotiating MSAs, SLAs, NDAs, licensing and employment agreements, managed trademark and copyright portfolios, and advised on data privacy and labour law across jurisdictions.

I have led implementation of legal tech (a digital litigation management tool), built and scaled teams, driven business development contributing to significant revenue conversion, and managed high-value client accounts. I bring a pragmatic, risk-aware approach to legal strategy and a track record of mentoring teams and delivering actionable solutions for startups, SMEs, and corporate clients.
