What I'm looking for

I seek litigation and corporate roles where I can apply my tax, corporate and criminal law expertise, continue courtroom work, and grow in high-responsibility legal practice.

I am a licensed Junior Advocate with experience across corporate law, taxation (GST, Income Tax & Customs), and criminal law, having appeared before the Hon'ble Madras High Court and the Supreme Court. I draft affidavits, brief senior advocates, manage e-filing of tax cases, and handle complex legal research using multiple legal databases.

I hold an Advanced Master’s (LLM) in Corporate Law and a B.Com LLB (Hons), with multiple certifications from leading institutions including Harvard Law School and the University of Illinois. I contribute to legal scholarship through publications on cybercrime, CSR, and insolvency, and I volunteer in community education and child welfare initiatives.
