Commercial lawyer and contract professional specializing in compliance, risk, and contract lifecycle management.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven commercial lawyer and contract professional with 7+ years of experience spanning Nepal and Australia. I combine dual postgraduate qualifications (LLM + MBA) with hands-on expertise in contract lifecycle management, regulatory compliance, and risk mitigation, supporting sales, operations, and legal teams across technology, property, energy, and financial sectors.
Business-first and documentation-first, I’m known for clear, structured written communication and cross-border collaboration with diverse stakeholders. From managing end-to-end commercial agreements and negotiating high-value renewals to delivering compliance training and resolving disputes, I bring the discipline needed for high-performance remote work across all time zones.
