What I'm looking for

I am seeking a corporate or in-house legal role where I can apply litigation, M&A and due-diligence experience, contribute to compliance and commercial transactions, and grow through complex transactional work within a collaborative, structured team.

I am a disciplined, solution-oriented attorney with experience across criminal, family, labor, and commercial law in both litigation and legal consultancy.

I founded and led a private law practice where I managed end-to-end legal proceedings, led buy-side and sell-side due diligence, and provided representation in criminal matters.

I have participated in M&A negotiations, drafted corporate and transactional documents (including settlement protocols, transfer agreements, shareholders' documents and transaction services agreements), and overseen court, enforcement, and notary procedures.

I pair practice with intensive legal research, published writing on law and technology, international internship and counseling experience, and certifications in corporate law, contracts, and information security; I am seeking a corporate legal role to deepen my commercial law expertise.
