What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic legal environment that fosters growth and challenges my skills.

I am a highly motivated legal professional with a strong work ethic and a passion for making a positive impact in the legal field. My experience includes successfully navigating complex high-stakes litigation matters of national interest, particularly in the areas of white-collar crime and economic offences. I am eager to apply my knowledge and skills to new challenges and opportunities in the legal landscape.

Throughout my career, I have served as a Junior Advocate/Associate in various esteemed chambers, assisting Special Public Prosecutors and gaining substantial exposure to high-profile cases. My responsibilities have included legal research, drafting petitions, and appearing before courts, which have honed my courtroom practice and strategic thinking. I am currently pursuing further education in Company Secretaryship, which complements my legal expertise and enhances my understanding of corporate governance.
