What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, innovation, and collaboration in a dynamic legal environment.

I am a dynamic Legal Associate with a strong background in corporate law, SaaS contracts, and intellectual property law. My experience includes managing complex contracts and providing global legal counsel, particularly in remote-first environments. I am committed to delivering efficient, business-aligned legal solutions that drive growth and innovation.

During my tenure at the National Assembly, I successfully drafted and negotiated legal opinions for anti-corruption policy reforms, influencing national policy changes. My proficiency in legal technologies like Clio and LawPavilion has enabled me to enhance document management and streamline compliance processes, reducing review timelines significantly.

With a solid foundation in legal research and compliance advisory, I have supported senior attorneys in various capacities, including drafting corporate contracts and conducting in-depth legal research. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute to impactful legal strategies that align with business objectives.
