## About

```text
At Ndegwa & Sitonik Advocates LLP, I draft, review, and negotiate commercial agreements, including service, consultancy, employment, and vendor contracts. I advise corporate clients on regulatory compliance, legal risk management, and corporate governance.

During my secondment as Legal Counsel at Moja (Nairobi) Expressway Co. Ltd., I provided legal support on operational and compliance matters. I also managed recovery and enforcement processes and supported dispute resolution.

As an Advocate Trainee at Ndegwa & Sitonik Advocates LLP, I drafted contracts, pleadings, affidavits, and legal opinions across commercial and civil matters. I attended court proceedings and assisted advocates with litigation and arbitration.

Earlier, at Haki Na Amani Advocates and Kibera Law Courts, I conducted legal research and assisted with legal documents, case management, and court administration. My training includes the Advocates Training Programme at Kenya School of Law and a Bachelor of Laws from Catholic University of Eastern Africa.
