Bridgitte Wanjiru
Lawyer | Professional Mediator | Legal Researcher | Aspiring Regulator
With hands-on experience in legal drafting, regulatory compliance, and litigation support through internships at judicial institutions and private law firms, I bring a solid grounding in legal research, problem solving and regulatory analysis.
My background includes impactful work with the Strathmore Law Clinic, offering pro bono legal advice to small businesses, and a Certification in Professional Mediation. I have also gained valuable exposure through internships at Kahawa Law Courts, Milimani Courts Mediation Registry, Kaplan and Stratton, Ayuo & Advocates LLP and Roam Electric Limited sharpening my skills in court procedure, file management, and client interaction.
Iโm currently seeking opportunities where I can apply my training, critical thinking, and communication skills in a practical setting, especially in roles that promote access to justice or fair regulatory practices. Iโm enthusiastic about contributing meaningfully while learning from experienced professionals in the field.
