Since the year 2010, I have been working with this esteemed bank as their legal advisor. During my tenure with the bank I have been providing services to the bank that include litigation, transaction advice, policy advice and legal consultancy. It is worth mentioning here that I have been very productive as far as the recovery matters of the bank are concerned that sometimes include criminal proceedings. I provide practical solutions to complex problems using resources and knowledge from legal as well as diverse disciplines, thus, providing a wide range of original solutions to problems in a timely, professional and useful manner. From my experience with the bank, I have learnt that the bank’s interests have not so far been actively pursued partly due to lack of interest on the part of advocates and partly because of our judicial system. I have endeavored to break this ice with expeditious follow up of the cases pending in the courts that has yielded quick and effective results for the bank. Show less
