Ever since I was a child, I have been captivated by the sea and aviation — from the sight of gantry cranes and containers lining the ports to the horizon stretching beyond the window of an airplane. It is a great honor to be part of the world of maritime law, supporting the global logistics that the sea makes possible.
During my time at law school, I conducted research on the role of law in an increasingly digital and AI-driven society. As rapid technological advancement continues to bring new legal challenges to the maritime, logistics, and international trade sectors, I am committed to putting that knowledge to work for our clients.
Through close communication with each client, and with a commitment to flexible thinking and multifaceted perspectives, I will dedicate myself fully and sincerely to supporting our clients — from anticipating and managing legal risks to resolving disputes when they arise.
