What I'm looking for
I am a registered legal practitioner, conveyancer, and notary public with over three years of experience in litigation, corporate law, and legal consultancy.

I have successfully led legal aid initiatives for indigent women, providing free legal services that have made a significant impact in the community.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a keen ability to streamline processes, notably reducing contract review turnaround times by 30% at Pundu and Company. My dedication to enhancing legal research processes has contributed to improved case preparation quality, resulting in favorable outcomes in over 80% of the cases I have handled. I take pride in mentoring law students and nurturing the next generation of legal professionals, ensuring that the values of integrity and advocacy are passed on.
