I review evidence, contractual provisions and legal requirements to support investigations and legal positions, and delivered 89% of contract reviews and legal opinions within agreed client deadlines. I also prepare and manage confidential legal documentation throughout its lifecycle.

Earlier, as a Legal Intern at J.K. Ngeresa & Co. Advocates and as a Legal Intern, Secretary and Court Clerk at Chiuri & Chiuri Co.
