Internships
My internships were diverse in nature and helped me to gain practical experience in a wide variety of industry practices as it spanned law firms, a practicing criminal Advocate, an NBFC as well as a Public-Private Partnership:

- SREI Equipment Finance (2018)
- CESC Limited, Kolkata (2017)
- Chambers of Adv. Gopal Halder, Kolkata (2016)

From drafting legal notices and rejoinders, leading research for legal opinions and observing bail proceedings at district sessions courts to drafting various agreements and project reports on specific legislative subject matters including electricity regulations, licensing, renewable energy and power sector policies in the various states of India - these learning opportunities honed my skills as a legal professional. I took a thorough interest in drafting various commercial and transactional documentation such as MOU's, Tender Request Proposals, Loan Agreements, Manufacture and Supply Agreements, Due Diligence Reports and even contributed to newsletters with articles on legal writing. The most significant takeaway from my internships has been the ability to conduct thorough legal research and analysis of case laws.
