During his internship with White & Case LLP, he conducted research on EU directives related to Non-Performing Loan (NPL) regulations and their implementation across member states, and prepared client newsletters. He also reviewed corporate documents to identify ownership interests and capital contributions and assisted in preparing reports for regulatory agencies related to acquisitions of substantial company shares. He also contributed to an automated project designed to streamline memo drafting for regulated financial institutions and supported an investment firm seeking licensing for a Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) to exchange tokenized securities under new distributed ledger technology regulations.
