About Me

I am an experienced transactional lawyer. I have advised clients across different sectors – IP, oil and gas, real estate and more recently venture capital and start ups.

I have great interest in the technology space but very limited opportunity to hone my skills and expand my knowledge about the field.

I am delighted to have found SkilledUp Life which offers this rare opportunity to professionals.

I am ready and willing to put in the required hours and I am of the view that my skills and experience will enhance the quality of my work.
