KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated legal professional with a Postgraduate Diploma in Law from the Kenya School of Law and a Bachelor of Laws from Strathmore University. My journey in the legal field has equipped me with a robust understanding of various legal frameworks and practices, particularly in corporate law and compliance.
In my most recent role as an Advocate at Lumumba & Lumumba Advocates, I prepared legal instruments and provided comprehensive legal advice to a diverse clientele. My experience as a Legal Assistant at Telkom Kenya allowed me to engage in significant corporate transactions, including a major merger, where I ensured compliance with regulatory requirements and managed legal obligations effectively.
My background also includes research consultancy, where I led a study on Gender-Based Violence, showcasing my ability to manage projects and deliver accurate results. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute positively to the legal landscape in Kenya.
