What I'm looking for

I’m seeking remote-friendly work supporting legal research, corporate compliance, or legal technology operations, where I can contribute to international legal teams and work across global time zones.

I authored and submitted a statutory memorandum to the Kenyan Parliament proposing amendments to the Finance Bill 2026 concerning VAT and digital financial services. My independent research also examines statutory governance, neopatrimonialism, and public policy within Kenyan legal frameworks.

At Moerwa Omwoyo & Company Advocates, I drafted legal submissions and reviewed pleadings for contentious probate matters, including a succession case involving an objection to a grant. I also researched property transactions and assisted senior advocates with case preparation.

In the 1st National Data Protection Moot Court Competition, I represented Umma University School of Law as a Team Oralist and analyzed data privacy issues under Article 31 of the Constitution of Kenya and the Data Protection Act of 2019. The team placed 2nd Runners Up.

As a Team Researcher in the John H. Jackson Moot Court Competition, I researched a trade law dispute, drafted memorials, and used the JusMundi database. I also undertake remote evaluation, transcription, and data annotation work for global platforms.
