Hi. My name is Sanket Singh, and I am an advocate from Mumbai, India. I recently resigned from my position at a law firm to establish my own practice. To supplement my income, I created an account on Upwork to seek additional work. 

 

I possess experience in litigation, drafting legal documents, providing tailored solutions for legal issues faced by my clients. I am new to freelancing and am unfamiliar with the intricacies of Upwork’s operations or the process of securing jobs. I would appreciate guidance on these matters.
