Archana Pal

I'm a quick learner with excellent communication skills. I am the kind of person who is deeply focused on self-development and takes time out to developmental learning even though it’s not a direct requirement of the job. I aspire to scale heights as a legal associate with a growth-oriented company/firm of high repute to assist seniors where I would be able to utilize my capabilities to the best extent in such a way that it would bring win-win situation for both firm and my career.
