What I'm looking for

I seek a role in litigation, regulatory policy, or compliance where I can apply legal research, advocacy, and regulatory drafting skills within a collaborative, growth-focused team.

I am an LLM candidate in International Business Law with practical experience in securities misrepresentation litigation and regulatory policy work. I have drafted procedural documents, organized evidence chains, analyzed case facts, and assisted in regulatory drafting and administrative litigation preparation.

My academic research focuses on international trade disputes and international humanitarian law, demonstrating strong doctrinal and case-analysis skills. I contribute to teams as a debate leader and legal-aid volunteer, and I seek roles that leverage my legal research, advocacy, and regulatory compliance strengths.
