What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my legal expertise in a dynamic environment, focusing on compliance and corporate governance while fostering professional growth.

I am a dedicated legal professional with over 5 years of experience in corporate law, company secretarial duties, intellectual property, and litigation. My journey began with an LLB (Hons) from General Sir John Kotelawala Defence University, where I excelled in Human Rights Law. I have honed my skills through various roles, including my current position as a Senior Analyst at Innodata Lanka, where I oversee intellectual property rights and manage legal documentation.

Throughout my career, I have successfully navigated complex legal landscapes, providing guidance to internal departments to ensure compliance and minimize risks. My experience as an Assistant Manager at Freight Links International involved drafting and negotiating corporate contracts, conducting workshops, and enhancing communication within the organization. I am passionate about fostering effective legal practices and contributing to organizational success through my analytical and assertive approach.
