What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to grow in the legal field, focusing on research and litigation, while contributing to meaningful legal work.

I am a licensed Advocate and a dedicated law student currently pursuing my LLM in Criminal Law. My experience as a Junior Associate at Adhikari and Associates has equipped me with extensive legal research skills and practical knowledge in civil litigation and environmental law. I have drafted various legal documents, participated in client consultations, and translated legal documents between Nepali and English, enhancing my communication and language precision skills.

My internship at the District Government Attorney Office allowed me to observe the legal process closely, from case filing to decision-making. Additionally, I was selected as a Youth in Policy and Governance Fellow, which reflects my commitment to developing my academic and professional career in the legal field. I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences to contribute positively to the legal community.
