What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a professional legal environment where I can deepen my expertise in corporate and commercial law. I want to contribute through legal drafting and legal research, while refining courtroom and client communication skills.

I’m a law graduate and advocate with a background in Business Management and Law. I bring strong academic performance and a clear interest in building my expertise in corporate law within a professional legal environment.

Through my internship at the District Court, I gained practical experience in legal drafting, client communication, and courtroom procedures. I also learned courtroom ethics and procedures, including witness testimony, case pleadings, and the judge’s delivery of the judgment.

My DAAD Semester Exchange Program at Brunswick European Law School (Ostfalia University) broadened my comparative legal perspective. I completed coursework including an introductory German company law and tax law module, researched circular economy legislation through field visits, and studied consumer behaviour economics.

Alongside formal training, I’ve stayed actively involved in university organizations—organizing and leading legal awareness programs and academic events. These experiences strengthened my leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills, and shaped how I approach legal work with clarity and purpose.
