Sri LankaWhat I'm looking for
I am a self-motivated and passionate junior lawyer with a First-class honours Bachelor of Laws from the University of London, where I was one of only eight worldwide to achieve this distinction in 2019. I have recently completed my LLM in International Law, along with a Certificate of Excellence in Criminology and Human Rights Law. My academic achievements reflect my dedication to the legal field, and I am currently serving as the Programme Lead for the OBU UK LLB Programme in Sri Lanka.
Throughout my professional journey, I have gained valuable experience as a junior lawyer, specializing in civil law, legal drafting, and court proceedings. My role as a guest speaker at the Sri Lanka Law College and my involvement as an Alumni Student Ambassador for the University of London highlight my commitment to legal education and community engagement.
