What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead legal risk management and governance advisory, handle complex corporate litigation, streamline contract processes, and mentor junior lawyers within an innovative, client-focused organisation.

I am a registered Legal Practitioner, Conveyancer, and Notary Public with over three years of hands-on experience in corporate law, litigation, governance, and regulatory compliance.

I have advised corporate clients, managed litigation with favorable outcomes in over 80% of matters, streamlined contract review processes (reducing turnaround by 30%), and developed legal research frameworks that improved case preparation quality.

I am passionate about legal risk mitigation, process improvement, and mentoring junior practitioners, and I bring practical, client-focused solutions to complex legal and regulatory challenges.
