What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic legal environment that fosters growth, innovation, and collaboration.

I am an aspiring lawyer with a strong focus on Intellectual Property Law, Tax Law, and Arbitration. My journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence and a passion for problem-solving. I have gained valuable experience through various internships, where I actively participated in arbitration competitions, drafted legal documents, and presented research papers. My dedication to my field has been recognized through awards such as the Most Outstanding Intern and Best Oralist in moot competitions.

In addition to my practical experience, I have authored numerous articles on various legal topics, including Technology Law and Competition Law, which have garnered significant attention in academic circles. I am also involved in extracurricular activities, serving as the President of the Christian Law Students Fellowship and leading initiatives that promote legal education and awareness. My goal is to leverage my skills and knowledge to contribute positively to the legal profession and advocate for justice.
