Who Am I
I am a cross-border banking, finance, and technology law consultant shaped by education and work across Pakistan, the UK, and the United States.
I am currently pursuing an LL.M. in Banking & Financial Law at Boston University School of Law, with a focus on fintech, financial regulation, and emerging technologies. My experience spans fintech practice, policy-facing legal work, and professional legal institutions, including work with the Boston Bar Association.
I also serve as a permanent cabinet member of the Pakistani Young Lawyers Association, mentoring and supporting young lawyers navigating an evolving legal profession.
I am interested in one question above all: how law can keep pace with technology without leaving people behind.
