What I'm looking for

I seek a role in corporate law or dispute resolution at a firm valuing cross-border M&A, insolvency expertise, strong drafting, and practical, research-driven advocacy.

I am an LLM candidate in Corporate Law at Durham University with practical experience across corporate M&A, dispute resolution and insolvency. I have worked on cross-border transactions, IFSC/GIFT City matters, and complex arbitration matters involving government institutions and PSUs.

My background includes internships and roles at top law firms and courts — Dentons Link Legal, Trilegal, Economic Laws Practice, and judicial internships at the Supreme Court and High Courts — where I performed due diligence, drafted opinions, and led research on constitutional, commercial and criminal matters.

I combine formal training (CIArb associate membership, UNCITRAL courses, ACCA certifications, mediation accreditation) with hands-on litigation, arbitration and transactional experience, and I bring analytical rigour, strong drafting skills, and a focus on practical outcomes to every engagement.
