Foundation

The Three-Legged Stool

Science taught inquiry. Business taught value. Law taught judgment.

Science

Scientific Fluency

Dense text became natural reads. Genetics, pathophysiology, biochemistry, anatomy, and physiology were routine coursework. A scientist before a lawyer. B.S. in Health Science with chemistry minor.

Business

Business Development

Before law school, made partner at a forty-year-old executive-search firm — the youngest, and the first woman. Won executive-level engagements with Fortune 50 companies, working directly with C-suite leaders.

III

Law

Legal Judgment

Law came last and with purpose. A dual J.D./M.B.A., sharpened by litigation and regulatory work, then practice leadership at an established New York property-tax firm. Rigor where a file demands it, advocacy where a client does, and first responsibility for relationships measured in decades.

Design & Presentation

Across all three runs an instinct for presentation: the taste to know what belongs, the discipline to remove what does not, and the eye to make complex work feel clear, credible, and considered.

Results

Trusted Early

Names and complete credentials are shared privately. The pattern is visible: enter complex environments, earn confidence early, and expand what the relationship is worth. Figures reflect firm-reported outcomes for initiatives led or co-led.

35%

annual firm revenue growth via payment and process systems, self-created and built in-house

~$150M

in valuation matters carried concurrently, filing through resolution

25%

reduction in case-management time by identifying AI implementation areas and where human judgment remained essential

60%

of search-firm revenue was repeat business, from self-procured clients

Youngest

and first woman partner in firm’s 40+ year history

Fortune 50

clients won and managed through direct C-suite relationships

Relationship Growth

Value Across Roles and Relationships

In business, first engagement led to trusted access across functions. In law, casework expanded into systems, revenue growth, and direct client relationships. Across both chapters, strong execution earned trust, which earned the respect to contribute more broadly.

Capabilities

A Broader Toolkit

Legal training, business experience, and creative judgment reinforce one another.

Counsel

Legal research and writing, strategic negotiation, litigation, regulatory analysis, and trusted client judgment.

Growth

Business development, client origination, C-suite relationship management, proposals, pricing, and practice building.

Clear Communication

Absorbing scientific, financial, and legal complexity, then giving decision-makers the one sentence that matters.

Areas of Interest

The Next Chapter

Interested in roles, collaborations and practice-building opportunities that draw on this full range of experience.

Trusts & estates

Collaboration and entry into estate planning and administration, particularly where property, client stewardship, and generational value meet.

Legal Strategy

Work that needs an attorney who can also understand the enterprise, grow the relationship, and improve how the work gets done.

Practice Growth

Practice growth, market entry, relationship development, positioning, and operational modernization.

Strategic Advisory

Special projects at the intersection of law, business, science, communication, and design—where range is the qualification.

Beyond the Work

Amateur astronomy, calligraphy, and a long-running garden account for much of the patience. Each takes years of steady attention before the results begin to show. The rest is a habit of moving through complexity into clarity. From ideation to execution.

Languages

Fluent in Punjabi and Hindi; conversational in Spanish. Language creates a natural connection with clients and communities who might otherwise go unreached.
