International Experience
Expanding my horizons, I moved to the United Kingdom to pursue an LLM in Sports Law from Nottingham Trent University, where I was honored with the NTU Excellence Scholarship and elected as the School Officer of Nottingham Law School.
Currently, I’m working in Ministry of Justice, UK and I have been received exemption in SQE2.
Commitment to Excellence
I am a commercially driven legal professional with cross-jurisdictional experience across India and the UK, supporting arbitration, commercial law, regulatory compliance, sports law, and intellectual property matters within international and common-law influenced legal environments. My background in litigation and arbitration support allows me to assist effectively in complex, cross-border disputes and high-value commercial transactions relevant to the UAE market.
I hold an LLM in Sports Law from Nottingham Trent University and am licensed to practise law in India, with practical experience in commercial contract drafting and review, arbitration documentation, compliance frameworks, and dispute strategy support. I have worked on matters involving civil and commercial disputes, arbitration preparation, enforcement-related research, and IPR protection, with a strong understanding of how legal risk is managed within international business structures.
My professional exposure aligns closely with DIFC and ADGM-style legal practice, including:
- English-language legal drafting
- Common law-oriented contract structures
- Cross-border regulatory and compliance considerations
- Arbitration seated in institutional and neutral forums
I am particularly interested in roles supporting international arbitration, DIFC/ADGM court matters, and in-house legal teams handling multi-jurisdictional operations. My experience in sports law and commercial IP exploitation including sponsorship, endorsement, licensing, and brand protection adds value to organisations operating in regulated and IP-driven sectors.
Known for my precision in drafting, strong legal research, and commercial awareness, I support employers by delivering practical, enforceable, and business-aligned legal solutions. I am well-suited for legal environments in Dubai that require regulatory discipline, international perspective, and adaptability within common law and arbitration-led frameworks.
