As a legal practitioner, I am adept at drafting and reviewing contracts for multiple clients, coming from various industries, which is useful in the expansion of my current and future career trajectory. Being consistent and competent plays a crucial role in ensuring I give my best to our clients.Reviewing and drafting of contracts are not limited to editing and tweaking available templates; rather, it's about curating contracts, and reviewing them thoroughly, including reading between the lines, and having a forward-thinking mindset about the intentions of every clause drafted and how that will benefit our clients in the long run. Implications and considerations shall be discussed and communicated.The weighing of outcomes and established precedents provides relevance in contractual drafting. It is not simply writing open-ended, elaborate clauses. I call this a form of art that not many are willing to master due to its lack of pizzazz. The basic review of clauses and the drafting of monotonous terms aren't exactly the glamorous life one can envision, as opposed to the generic idea of the legal profession as seen in TV series like 'SUITS' or the classic 'Legally Blonde'. To me, reviewing and drafting contracts are equally as important as being litigators. A simple, menial clause can cause irreparable damages to your client's business, career, and future if not carefully curated.In this firm, I spearheaded the contracts department, whereby I took initiatives in sourcing for clients by networking and building a good reputation in this industry. I hope to make a mark in this overlooked corner of the legal industry, making small, but impactful ripples as I continue giving the best for my clients.

Starting out as a fresh graduate in the legal fraternity was an experience I gladly look back on, as I was given the leeway to learn and be exposed to various facets of the legal career. Here, I was given the opportunity to assist the partners in various fields such as Intellectual Property, Trademark & Patent, Civil Litigation, Conveyancing, and Criminal Law matters. I took interest in the drafting and reviewing of contracts where I was given the liberty to independently draft and review contracts ranging from simple Tenancy and Sale & Purchase Agreements to agreements in Multi-National Companies, Developers, and Tech Companies. This experience has definitely equipped me well prior to the acceptance of role into the Finance Ministry, of which I have decided to boldly venture into, as I was offered subsequently after the 15th General Elections.

After the completion of my pupillage, I seized the opportunity to explore a new career option that was offered to me: a Human Resources Specialist in a fast-paced environment. Here, I was tasked with reviewing recruitment contracts and procedures, wherein I stepped in to also shoulder the role of a Talent Acquisition Associate. Apart from the review of contracts, I recruited local and international talents into the company, assisting the growth and performance of the organisation by contributing well. Recruitment was tough, especially when it comes to certain contractual clauses that may not be tweaked due to our company's interests and policy. As a HR Specialist, I was careful in managing the candidates' expectations whilst also standing firm on our company's policy and interests.I have gained countless insightful experiences here, and for that I am grateful.I left the role because it was at the end if my contract and that I was offered to return to practice again
