What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-level legal role in a collaborative firm where I can apply litigation, data protection and research skills, grow under mentors, and contribute to client-focused, high-quality legal work.

I am a law graduate passionate about commercial litigation, data protection and criminal law, with hands-on experience across law firms and the magistrates' court. I combine meticulous legal research, document drafting and courtroom observation to support case strategy and judicial processes.

During multiple internships I drafted pleadings, affidavits, contracts and deeds of variation, prepared trial bundles, and advised on contractual and IP risks related to emerging tech. I developed practical courtroom and juridical skills while assisting magistrates and supporting senior advocates.

I am a collaborative, detail-oriented professional with strong time management and communication skills, fluent in English and Kiswahili, seeking to apply my legal training and commercial awareness in a dynamic legal team.
