What I'm looking for

I seek a role leading legal operations or contracts where I can drive digital transformation, improve compliance processes, mentor teams, and deliver efficient, tech-enabled legal support in a collaborative organization.

I am an accomplished legal professional with over 8 years' experience in contract drafting, compliance management, and legal operations across infrastructure, corporate, and healthcare domains. I leverage AI-driven legal technologies to increase efficiency in contract review, drafting, and legal research.

I currently lead Legal Operations, implementing structured contract management, digital compliance systems, and proactive risk management frameworks that improved contract accuracy and reduced review turnaround times by 30%.

My hands-on experience includes managing FSSAI and Legal Metrology compliance, vendor due diligence and onboarding, litigation support, and coordinating with U.S. attorneys using tools like Panther and Clio. I have drafted and reviewed 150+ agreements including NDAs, channel partner agreements, and work orders.

I combine strong drafting, negotiation, and cross-functional coordination skills with proficiency in legal research platforms (Westlaw, LexisNexis) and contract-management tools (Contract Works, DocuSign) to deliver reliable, timely legal support and drive digital transformation in legal workflows.
