My experience ranges from the early stages of requirements documentation for the project, contract review, and up to the implementation and rollout phases. I worked closely with operations and technology people to help them marry the law with code. Aside from these, I have proven experience in the following areas: Corporation and Securities, Taxation, and Insurance industry Laws.
