I · PROFILE

A statement, in brief.

PRESENTLY
Legal Associate, Baker and Coleman Solicitors
BASED
Lahore, Pakistan
JURISDICTIONS
United Kingdom · United States · Pakistan

An LLB graduate of the University of London whose work spans legal research, drafting and dispute resolution. I currently handle Noise-Induced Hearing Loss claims for a UK firm, drafting Letters of Claim in line with the Pre-Action Protocols and reviewing the medical evidence behind each one.

Before that, I supported U.S. personal injury and road traffic accident claims, researched family-law and custody matters, and coordinated ADR training and certification in Lahore. I am an accredited mediator, certified in legal drafting and in HIPAA compliance.

My commitment is to access to justice and legal reform, brought to bear through policy analysis, careful client handling and well-run legal operations.
