## About

```text
At Vertico LPO, supporting Duncan Lewis Solicitors, I draft witness statements and further representations in asylum matters. I research country evidence using policy notes, CPINs, and case law, and prepare evidence bundles while maintaining case files.

At QuisLex, I applied my LLB background and computer science foundation to legal document analysis and contract drafting. Earlier, as an Advocate at ADVOCATE VGSK, I focused on contract management and legal discussions.
