What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic legal environment that fosters growth and collaboration.

I am an Advocate in waiting, deeply passionate about the law and its role in shaping society. My journey in the legal field has been marked by a commitment to understanding both the theoretical and practical aspects of law. I am eager to apply my legal knowledge and skills to deliver high-quality legal services while continuously learning and engaging with intersecting disciplines.

During my pupillage at CFL Advocates, I gained hands-on experience in various areas including dispute resolution, litigation, and intellectual property law. I assisted in drafting pleadings, formulating litigation strategies, and preparing conveyancing documents. This experience honed my skills in legal research, critical thinking, and effective communication, which I believe are essential for a successful legal career.

Additionally, my judicial attachment at Milimani Law Courts provided me with invaluable insights into the judicial process. I had the opportunity to draft rulings and observe court procedures, further enhancing my legal writing and research skills. I am committed to leveraging my experiences to contribute positively to the legal profession.
