IP Law Student & Junior Associate | Trademark, Copyright, and Contract Drafting
About
I understand creators because I am one and I make sure their work stays theirs. I am a final year LL.M student specializing in Intellectual Property Law and Information Technology with a focus on trademark and copyright. I completed my integrated B.L.S LL.B degree and built my academic path around IP through moots, debates, legal research, and drafting work. I have worked as a junior associate at a law firm for over two years, assisting with court matters, drafting pleadings, notices, and contracts, conducting case based research, managing files, and interacting with clients. This gave me strong litigation fundamentals, procedural discipline, and confidence in real practice, which I now focus on for IP work. I have also completed two internships that strengthened my drafting, research, and court process experience. I come from a creative background and have practiced visual art extensively. Being a creator myself gives me a natural understanding of how original work is built, valued, and misused. This shapes the way I approach copyright and brand protection. I also studied psychology for two years, which helps me read people, communicate clearly, and work smoothly with clients and teams. I bring a strong command of legal writing, contract drafting, and professional communication. I am looking for roles with IP focused teams where I can learn fast and contribute from day one. Always happy to connect with professionals in the IP space.
