What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my legal expertise and leadership skills in a dynamic environment focused on innovation and compliance.

I am a seasoned lawyer with over 18 years of experience in various legal domains, including compliance, dispute resolution, and legal technology. My career has been marked by a decisive and efficient team approach, complemented by outstanding communication and presentation skills. I excel in building strong customer relationships through excellent interpersonal skills and possess strong leadership attributes alongside good planning and organizational skills.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Freelance Legal Consultant and Senior Manager in ADR & Legal Tech. I have successfully developed legal workflows for banks and NBFCs, created predictive legal process bots, and led teams in contract management and compliance analysis. My experience spans across multiple jurisdictions, including U.K., U.S., and Canada law support, where I have provided litigation assistance and compliance analysis for regulatory requirements.

My commitment to legal excellence is evident in my ability to negotiate and mediate effectively, interfacing with Fortune 500 clients and leading legal teams to achieve favorable outcomes. I am passionate about leveraging technology to enhance legal processes and am eager to continue contributing to the legal field through innovative solutions.
