What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration and innovation, allowing me to leverage my legal expertise for impactful business growth.

I am a Global Corporate Manager with a robust background in business and corporate law, specializing in legal contracts and commercial solutions. My experience spans global expansion, mergers and acquisitions, and intellectual property rights, where I have successfully navigated complex legal landscapes to drive operational excellence and business growth in the technology and legal sectors.

At Deel, I created and developed essential precedent documents and managed corporate governance across over 110 countries. My role involved overseeing trademark registrations and ensuring compliance with international regulations, significantly contributing to the efficiency of client-facing products and services. I take pride in my ability to lead teams, train new hires, and enhance workflows, all while maintaining a keen focus on delivering results that align with corporate objectives.

Previously, as a Senior Paralegal at Convex Insurance, I improved team efficiency and collaboration by refining project workflows and overseeing due diligence processes. My journey in law began at CMS Cameron McKenna Nabarro Olswang LLP, where I supported mid-market finance transactions and facilitated multi-jurisdictional deals. I am passionate about leveraging my legal expertise to foster growth and innovation in dynamic environments.
