Shazia Q.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to express my interest in the legal position at your esteemed organization. I am an
Advocate with over five years of professional experience in Criminal, Family, Civil and
Matrimonial Law, with substantial exposure to both litigation and non-litigation matters.
I have been enrolled with the Bombay High Court Bar Association since 2021 and have gained
practical experience before the Bombay High Court, Sessions Court, City Civil Court, Family
Courts, Criminal Courts, Labour Courts and MHADA. I have handled and assisted in a wide
range of matters including Domestic Violence proceedings, divorce and custody petitions,
restitution of conjugal rights, declaration suits, Section 498A IPC matters, bail and
anticipatory bail applications, injunctions, stay applications and other civil and criminal
proceedings.
During my professional experience with law firms as well as through my independent legal
practice, I have developed strong skills in legal research, drafting, client consultation, case
preparation and court proceedings. I have independently drafted pleadings, petitions,
applications, affidavits, legal notices and various other legal documents, while also assisting in
litigation strategy and trial preparation.
My non-litigation experience includes drafting and handling Special Marriage Registration,
Trademark Registration, Wills, Gift Deeds, Nikahnama, Partnership and Investor Agreements,
MOUs, Family Settlement Deeds, Khulanama, Mubaraat and Leave & License Agreements. I
have also handled property-related documentation and RTI matters.
Additionally, I have undertaken legal assignments for international clients through Upwork,
successfully completing 9 assignments involving approximately 50 hours of professional work
and generating earnings exceeding USD 800. This experience has strengthened my ability to
independently communicate with clients, understand instructions, conduct legal research and
deliver work within professional requirements and timelines.
I hold a B.L.S. LL.B. degree from Rizvi Law College and an LL.M. in Intellectual Property Law
from the University of Mumbai. I am also pursuing a Diploma in Data Protection and Privacy
Laws through LawSikho.
I am confident that my practical courtroom exposure, drafting skills, legal research abilities
and experience in independently handling client matters would enable me to contribute
effectively to your organization. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss my experience and
suitability for the position further.
Thank you for considering my application.
Kind Regards,
Adv. Shazia Qureshi
