What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my legal expertise while contributing to impactful projects and fostering professional growth.

I am a dedicated legal professional with extensive experience in providing legal representation and advice. My journey in the legal field has been marked by a commitment to understanding clients' needs and delivering excellence in the practice of law. I have honed my skills in negotiating legal instruments and overseeing personnel, ensuring that all legal matters are handled with precision and care.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed a diverse caseload, negotiated favorable settlements, and developed comprehensive legal policies that align with regulatory requirements. My role as an Assistant Manager in Legal Services at the Tana and Athi Rivers Development Authority has allowed me to advise on various legal matters, coordinate with multiple legal service providers, and mentor junior staff members. I take pride in my ability to work under pressure and adapt to new challenges, always striving to enhance the organizational brand.

My accomplishments include spearheading initiatives that have significantly increased revenue for the Authority and resolving long-standing legal conflicts. I am passionate about fostering a culture of compliance and providing strategic legal support that drives organizational success.
