What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an internship, clerkship, or in-house support role in commercial law, ADR, and contract advisory—where I can draft and review agreements, support risk-aware client advisory, and contribute to dispute-resolution strategies with real transactional and litigation exposure.

I’m an aspiring civil and commercial law advocate, currently pursuing BA LLB (Hons.) at GGSIPU with specialisation in ADR, Commercial Law, and Property Law. I bring hands-on exposure as a Paralegal & Legal Associate, supporting research-to-draft work for active commercial and property matters, including drafting and reviewing 40+ commercial contracts, vendor agreements, and dispute-resolution correspondence.

I co-founded Legalest, a legal education platform delivering structured training on commercial law and contract drafting to 1000+ practitioners and business professionals. Through Enactus, I led two grassroots enterprise projects for 2 years and drafted practical vendor and worker agreements, strengthening my practical understanding of legal needs for startups—especially compliance, risk mitigation, and founder- and practitioner-ready contract advisory.
