What I'm looking for

I’m seeking remote legal counsel, legal operations, or privacy/tech-legal roles—translating complex compliance needs into SOPs, governance dashboards, and scalable processes while advising on contracts and regulatory matters.

I’m a Legal professional with 3–4 years’ post-qualification experience across commercial contracting, legal operations, compliance frameworks, and data and privacy governance in common-law, high-accountability environments. I combine rigorous legal analysis with scalable process and systems thinking to help stakeholders move from risk identification to operational outcomes.

I have a proven track record of drafting and negotiating agreements, designing and operationalising SOPs, and supporting complex court-directed and regulatory matters. In legal operations, I’ve led matter intake, workflow optimisation, governance reporting, audit readiness, and coordinated CLM and document/case management workflows.

My privacy and data governance work includes hands-on exposure to data protection (DPDP, GDPR concepts), biometric data governance, consent and retention frameworks, and incident response support. I’ve operationalised biometric data security SOPs with encrypted storage, role-based access controls, and consent flows aligned with DPDP concepts, and I’ve conducted statutory compliance analysis that informs court-directed systemic reforms.
