Nicole Khaniri

I am a dedicated legal professional with a strong foundation in corporate and commercial transactions law, complemented by certifications in cryptocurrency, digital assets, and fintech. My passion lies at the intersection of law, finance, and emerging technologies. I am currently pursuing a Master’s in Banking and Finance Law to deepen my expertise and contribute meaningfully to the evolving financial regulatory landscape.

As an Advocate Trainee at Swaka Advocates, I am responsible for drafting and reviewing a wide range of legal documents, conducting in-depth legal research, and managing client onboarding processes. My role has allowed me to establish effective document control systems and maintain regular engagement with clients, ensuring their concerns are addressed professionally. I have also taken on departmental management responsibilities, reflecting my ability to lead and maintain operational excellence within the firm.

My previous experience as a Legal Intern at Asha Bashir and Co. Advocates involved drafting and reviewing contracts, conducting thorough legal research, and maintaining proactive communication with clients. I gained practical exposure to judicial proceedings while working at Milimani Commercial Law Courts, where I assisted in drafting decrees and judgments. This experience has strengthened my understanding of court operations and the importance of discretion in legal practice.
