I worked as a Legal Counsel and handled all arbitration cases and DIFC Small Claim Tribunal cases held in English. Further, due to my strong drafting skills, I was assigned with the task of drafting contract and legal documents such as legal notices, letters, affidavit, memorandum of association and other documents. During two years of working with this law firm, I excelled as a legal counsel and managed to successfully win over fifty (50) landmark arbitration cases against large companies and individuals.
