Legal professional specializing in judicial research, litigation support, and client-focused legal advisory.
What I'm looking for
I’m a legal professional with strong experience in judicial research, litigation support, and client advisory. I focus on delivering accurate, timely, and high-quality legal solutions built on thorough legal analysis.
At the Judicial Service Commission (Oct 2024 – Present), I conduct legal research on case law and statutes, and I draft judgments, legal opinions, and comprehensive bench memoranda for judicial officers. I also assist judges during courtroom proceedings and help ensure seamless management of cases.
Previously, as Legal Counsel at Wise Owl LegalAid Society (Feb 2023 – Apr 2024), I drafted complex High Court documents, legal pleadings, and binding commercial property agreements. I initiated strategic debt collection protocols, represented client interests in arbitration proceedings, and delivered customized legal advice through independent consultations.
Earlier, as a Legal Intern at Madzima & Company Law Chambers (Feb 2022 – Feb 2023), I drafted summons and judicial applications for civil matters, attended trials and sessions, and compiled detailed briefs to support the Principal. I’m committed to precision, procedural compliance, confidentiality, and ethical practice in every matter.
