About Me

A Barrister-at-Law and Advocate of the High Court with active litigation and advisory practice, representing clients in complex legal matters and delivering strategic counsel grounded in practical courtroom experience.

Building on a strong foundation in law, my practice extends into the evolving domains of legal technology, artificial intelligence, and regulatory compliance. I specialize in AI governance, advising on the legal and ethical implications of automated systems, including accountability, transparency, and risk in decision-making technologies.

My expertise further includes data protection, privacy, and cybersecurity law, with working knowledge of key regulatory frameworks such as GDPR, UAE PDPL, Saudi PDPL, and Pakistan’s PDPA 2023. I assist organizations in developing and implementing effective Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) frameworks aligned with both regulatory requirements and business objectives.

Additionally, I bring a foundational understanding of cloud infrastructure, enabling me to bridge the gap between legal compliance and modern technology environments, particularly in data handling, security, and scalable system design.
