My work experiences have endowed my broad spectrum appreciation of the upstream and downstream sectors, as well as diverse service level arrangements in the oil and gas industry from a global comparative analogy. These have enabled my delivery of diverse contracts and agreements covering various transactional phases from inception/discussion/negotiation, to drafting, vetting and closing with a mutually agreed document for proper administration/management. My experience has further developed my skills in legal research, risk management, due diligence, regulatory compliance, dispute resolution and document control/storage/management, as well as applicable ancillary services.
