KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a qualified Advocate with extensive experience in legal drafting, contract review, and quality assurance in legal documentation. My strong background in litigation and commercial transactions has equipped me with a detail-oriented approach and a passion for integrating legal technology into my work. I thrive in environments that challenge my analytical skills and allow me to contribute to effective legal solutions.
Currently, I serve as an Associate Advocate at Njeri Onyango & Co. Advocates, where I conduct legal reviews, represent clients in court, and manage high-volume contract documentation. My previous roles have involved drafting legal documents, conducting due diligence, and training junior staff, all of which have honed my ability to navigate complex legal frameworks and ensure compliance.
With a Post Graduate Diploma in Law and a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Nairobi, I am committed to continuous professional development, as evidenced by my participation in various legal training programs. I am eager to leverage my skills and experience in a dynamic legal environment that values innovation and excellence.
