Career & Expertise


I volunteered at my university pro bono legal advice clinic as a student advisor for 3 years, where I gave clients legal advice in the form of letters under supervision and interviewed clients, and I managed to resolve a lot of the client’s problems.

I got promoted to firm manager of the clinic where I had to assign cases to students and oversee their work and act as a liaison between clinic director and students

I have worked in house in Habib bank in the compliance department where I designed a policy for vulnerable customers which the firm then implemented. I also gave my legal input on cases from time to time to the firm.

I have worked at a leading Fortune 500 company, Aditya Birla Group, as a legal intern where I learnt about shipping law and commercial trade. I assisted the firm in relation to various legal issues affecting the business and trade, I presented my findings to the head of department.

I have also worked at various local law firms in property, family, and corporate law.

I am currently currently undertaking the LPC.
