What I'm looking for

Seeking a remote opportunity to utilize my legal expertise in corporate and commercial law, focusing on drafting agreements and providing strategic legal advice. I am enthusiastic about contributing to a dynamic team and overcoming challenges with determination and resilience.

I am a dedicated corporate lawyer with over a decade of experience in drafting agreements, legal research, and corporate law. My expertise includes preparing legal documents such as complaints, memos, and discovery requests, with a strong focus on attention to detail and compliance with legal standards.

Throughout my career, I have worked with various organizations, both in India and the UAE, handling a wide range of legal matters. My experience includes drafting and reviewing contracts, conducting legal research, and providing strategic legal advice to support business operations and disputes.

Despite my current mobility impairment, I remain committed to delivering high-quality legal services remotely. This experience has strengthened my resilience and enthusiasm, enabling me to approach challenges with confidence and determination.
