India-qualified Advocate | 2 years PQE in Civil, Criminal, Cyber & IPR. LLM (Family Law) student. Seeking NZ firm role. Adaptable with strong research
What I'm looking for
I adv. Gagandeep Kaur a practicing advocate based in India with two years of active post-qualified experience (PQE) on the ground. My path into law started with a B.Com LL.B double-degree, where I graduated with 75% distinction. Merging commerce with law early on shaped how I think—I don’t just look at the legal text; I look at the practical, real-world impact on the people and businesses involved.Currently, I am expanding my legal depth by pursuing an LLM in Family Law, a field that demands both intense analytical rigor and genuine human empathy.
Over the past two years, I have built a versatile practice that splits between traditional courtroom litigation and modern digital law. My day-to-day work involves:
Core Litigation: Actively managing civil and criminal matters, mastering the art of precise drafting, and building cohesive case strategies.
Cyber Law & IPR: Navigating intellectual property and digital disputes. These areas are incredibly dynamic and globally transferable, giving me a strong grasp of data and tech compliance that applies anywhere in the world.
Family Law & Mediation: My postgraduate research focuses heavily on navigating complex personal laws and dispute resolution, proving my ability to handle sensitive, high-stakes matters with discretion.
Looking Forward in New Zealand:
What defines my career so far is my ability to balance a demanding full-time practice with top-tier academic research. I thrive on legal problem-solving, breaking down complex statutory frameworks, and finding clear paths forward.I am eager to bring this adaptable mindset and cross-border perspective to the New Zealand legal sector. I am looking to join a progressive NZ firm or in-house team in a legal support, research, or clerkship capacity, where I can add immediate value while I proactively work through the local requalification and admission process.
With regards
Gagandeep Kaur
