What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a training role that values meticulous drafting and strong legal research. I want mentorship in litigation and advisory work, plus opportunities to deepen skills across fintech regulation, disputes, and corporate matters.

I’m a law graduate and trainee with a sharp eye for detail, disciplined drafting skills, and a genuine commitment to excellence. I analyze challenges, develop innovative solutions, and manage priorities in high-pressure environments, with strengths in legal research, legal support, and advocacy.

Through extern and internship roles, I’ve supported litigation planning with prepared case notes and briefs, delivered concise analyses to senior counsel, and helped with reviewing client documents, drafting correspondence, and supporting filing of court processes. I’m also experienced across fintech regulation, corporate transactions, and dispute resolution—reinforced by structured simulation-based drafting and compliance exercises.
