Law graduate focused on privacy, compliance, and practical legal research support.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a law graduate with hands-on experience in legal research, drafting, and client liaison across employment, civil, and commercial matters. I apply strong analytical skills to privacy, data protection, and AI policy work to support litigation and compliance.
At Kamotho Njomo & Company Advocates, I prepare pleadings, draft contracts and policy documents, and maintain knowledge-management records while coordinating with courts and clients under senior supervision. I have contributed to employment-policy reviews aligned with the Data Protection Act and GDPR.
Previously, I served as a legal assistant and intern at Muthii W.M & Associates and KEBS where I drafted court filings and commercial agreements, supported incident-response and compliance activities, and advised on legal risk. I consistently demonstrated organization, initiative, and client-facing communication.
I am motivated by opportunities to deepen my expertise in international law, data protection, and AI privacy regulation, and to help organizations manage legal risk through practical, well-researched solutions.
