About Me
Seventeen Years of Focused Legal Practice.
I am Adv. Rawaeld, a British lawyer with over 17 years of full-time professional experience in the legal sector. Formerly associated with Shoosmiths LLP, I now operate my own independent legal office while maintaining a professional affiliation with the firm.
My expertise focuses on UK and US corporate and commercial law, company formation and management, business regulations, contractual disputes, corporate governance, and complex legal matters involving individuals and businesses.
Throughout my career, I have developed extensive experience advising on company structures, shareholder disputes, business compliance, commercial negotiations, risk management, and cross-border legal matters between the United Kingdom and the United States.
My professional approach is built on integrity, confidentiality, strategic legal thinking, and a commitment to protecting my clients’ interests while delivering practical and effective legal solutions.
