What I'm looking for

I seek a role focused on commercial contract work, transaction documentation, and compliance within a collaborative team that values clear legal risk management and professional growth.

I am a result-driven attorney with extensive experience ensuring the legality of commercial transactions through drafting, reviewing, and vetting contracts. I have worked in private practice and in-house/consulting roles supporting complex financial and legal operations.

My background includes long-term part-time practice at a personal legal firm and senior roles supporting international banking operations and legal process outsourcing, demonstrating adaptability across corporate and advisory settings. I am admitted to the Bar Council of Maharashtra and Goa and hold solicitor qualification from the Supreme Court of England and Wales.

I bring strong written and oral communication, legal research, time management, and critical thinking skills to ensure compliance and mitigate legal risk in commercial matters. I seek roles where I can apply my transaction documentation expertise and regulatory knowledge to deliver clear, practical legal solutions.
