What I'm looking for

I seek a finance-focused legal role where I can draft and negotiate loan documentation, advise lenders on security perfection, handle due diligence, and grow within a collaborative, high-volume banking law team.

I am a transactional lawyer with four years of focused experience in drafting and negotiating loan documentation, perfection of security and providing legal advisory services to lenders and security trustees across sole, multiple and consortium banking arrangements.

I have conducted legal audits, land and title due diligence for Banks and NBFCs, drafted pre- and post-disbursement compliance, and represented clients before tribunals and high courts, achieving favorable outcomes in recovery and related litigation matters.

I combine transactional drafting expertise with hands-on litigation experience and a client-focused approach, and I am willing to relocate to Dubai with one month notice to contribute to a finance-focused legal team.
