What I'm looking for

I seek a role in arbitration or litigation where I can apply precise legal drafting, lead filings, and grow within a collaborative, ethics-driven legal team.

I am a bar-qualified advocate with a BBA LLB (Hons) and practical experience across arbitration, litigation, and legal research. I have drafted petitions and agreements, represented clients before the High Court of Kerala, and supported arbitration matters with accurate filings and compliance.

I streamline processes and maintain detailed case trackers to accelerate outcomes, having served as Assistant Legal Manager (Arbitration & EP) and as a legal associate and intern in multiple law offices and institutions. I prioritize precision, ethics, and collaborative problem-solving to deliver effective legal counsel.
