Energy Counsel

Merrill Lynch

Financial Associate

Resting on one's laurels has never been my modus operandi. I've been blessed with a wealth of challenging roles both pre- and post legal education that have allowed me to build a skill set traversing the full range of activities that a global holding company, consulting company, sovereign wealth fund or law firm might confront. Look! I don't just provide redline overload, I seek to understand the commercial aspects and bring the deal to fruition, not kill the deal! Early on in my legal career, I was deemed as too unconventional, over the years, that's become my strong suit and has provided me and the companies I have worked for, a great deal of advantages in:

•	leveraging language and intercultural skills to quickly master specific common and civil law systems in the course of M&A due diligence
•	entrepreneurially evaluating all financial and business risk factors with an investment, communicating succinctly to C-levels the overview of an opportunity under tight deadlines 
•	owning all labor law outcomes for a large corporation as the architect of internal employment policies
•	negotiating intricate multi-party contracts and fees with several international stakeholders at issue, all while project-managing within a constrained budget
•	portfolio risk analysis with individual investments including but not limited to FMCG, retail, construction, real estate, and oil & gas
•	drafting the full gamut of legal documents, from cease-and-desist letters, trademark applications, shareholder agreements, and company registrations, to corporate by-laws, investor memos, and M&A resolutions whilst implementing internal compliance programs

My experience goes beyond the corporate space, where early in my career I was exposed to some of the  most challenging humanitarian issues in international relations that allowed me to sharpen my people skills, organizational leadership, and active listening to solve problems creatively - qualities that pay dividends as part of a challenging role at an organization. 

My favorite thing though, is connecting with people. I'd love to hear your stories, talk about what makes you laugh and cry and am always open to invaluable life advice! Connect with me and talk to me about anything or: Women in Law, LegalTech, Momming and working, social justice and more :)
