Fareena Siraj

I'm a law graduate with over three years of post-qualification experience, and my work has taken me across a few different parts of the legal world — from the High Court of Telangana, where I spent three years in litigation, to a professional document review role at Quislex Legal Services, to ongoing training in contract drafting and AI tools. I've drafted legal documents, reviewed contracts and case records in high-pressure environments, worked with clients directly, and done the kind of detailed, careful work that good legal practice requires. I take confidentiality seriously, I'm organised, and I work well independently as much as in a team.

I'm currently looking for a role where I can keep building on this foundation and contribute meaningfully from day one.
