What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic legal environment that values collaboration and innovation, offering opportunities for professional growth.

I am an experienced legal counsel with a strong background in commercial and real estate law. Over the years, I have managed a diverse portfolio of clients, providing comprehensive legal advice and representation in complex matters. My expertise includes drafting and negotiating contracts, conducting legal audits, and facilitating successful transactions, often involving high-value cases.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to excellence in legal practice, contributing to business development and the expansion of client portfolios. I have also trained and managed interns and junior legal counsels, fostering a collaborative environment that encourages growth and learning. My ability to analyze legal issues through the lens of comparative law has enabled me to formulate strategic responses that effectively address client concerns.
