During three years of my service at SECP, I have learned much about the functioning of corporate bodies, corporate enforcement for noncompliance, and winding up of the companies. Hence, it is essential to broaden my exposure to corporate governance, corporate compliance, and insolvency laws in order to better grasp the spirit of the above. Furthermore, I have done extensive work towards corporate rehabilitation, which provide a mechanism for rehabilitation of the distressed companies, corporate restructuring pertaining to resolving insolvency and secured transaction, and at this juncture, I am perfectly posed to study them further.  ","67":"The reason I chose the Delaware Law School LLM program because it offers a chance to gain specialized knowledge of corporate law, advances in regulatory and compliance. It also offers the versatility to take this course online, which is the greatest benefit of applying for the course.","68":"None","69":"After the successful completion of my LLM program through Scholarship for international leaders, I will return back to my home country on my current designated at the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan. Currently, I\u2019m holding a position of Assistant Director legal and what captured my attention that the corporate restructuring, rehabilitation of distressed companies and secured transaction is slightly a new concept within Pakistan and lack awareness, which requires enhancement through reforms. \r\nThe legal fraternity in Pakistan does not pay attention to corporate restructuring or reconstruction of bankrupt companies, but its key priority is to pursue the systematic procedure of liquidating the distressed companies that is detrimental to the economy and does not attract foreign investors due to lack of financial protection. I want to hammer out a workable solution to these problems by recommending systemic changes in SECP policies related to the restructuring of corporate bodies which could allow them to reorganize a company's legal, ownership, operational or other structures in order to make it more competitive or better structured for its current needs.\r\nSimilarly, my key priority will be to incorporate an innovative process to create a cohesive structure for Sick Company Recovery and Rehabilitation for distressed companies. The system should aim to diagnose the illness in a timely manner and to take effective steps to revive sick companies. By this, we will recuperate both a debtor and a creditor's trust. I will also be helping my organization devise a robust safe transaction scheme. Laws regulating secured credit reduce the default risks for borrowers and thereby improve the cash flow and promote low-cost financing. Discrepancies and inconsistencies in the legal framework regulating security rights, particularly in Pakistan, are the main reasons for the high cost and unavailability of credit. The absence of a modern protected transaction regime is especially detrimental to micro, small, and medium-sized companies (MSMEs).\r\nI also plan to volunteer in the field of empowerment for women, specifically gender equality and a decent workplace that has not been in the picture here in Pakistan for a long time. The goal is to break the stereotypes of existing legal, technical and procedural constraints to provide social justice to the deprived class of the society who have otherwise been estopped to set the law in motion for the protection of their social, economic, political, and religious rights.\r\nI aspire to become a conduit of progress in the above areas through the Scholarship Award and at the same time to be an expert in the field of corporate insolvency law in Pakistan. This experience will further my irrefutable skills and support me in getting my promotion as Deputy Director legal within my organization. My ambition is to stay within the SECP for about five years, which is before becoming eligible for Legal Head or Compliance Legal Head position for any top private sector companies. \r\nMy organization has always made great lawyers who always ended up in high ranks after their time with the Commission, from the Supreme Court of Justice to the Prosecutor General and from in-house-lawyers\u2019 perspective ended up as legal heads of banks, multinationals, and giants such as oil and gas companies or exploration firms. \r\n","70":"In 2011, I was looking for a part-time job in England, which could help me cover my living and other tuition expenses. I knew it was challenging to work in care homes or elderly care centers, but at the same time, it helped me meet my expenses. When you think of it there will always be someone who is either sick or dying. I actually learned a lot from working there, in fact, it was one of the most valuable experiences I have ever had with any employer. It taught me that in the difficult situation how to stay composed, tranquil, and deal with your patients with care without any negligence. How do I relate this experience by taking the initiative to reach out and give support in a constructive way when you see others struggling and I apply the same attitude towards my fellow colleagues. \r\n\r\nAnother example is that I am part of numerous advocacy groups such as women empowerment, domestic violence, oppressed Christians, and equal rights in Pakistan. Where I take initiative to help oppressed groups like women, minorities, and other less privileged classes voice their rights and raise their confidence through my sessions of awareness.\r\nAlso, I am a legal advisor for my church in Rawalpindi\/Pakistan. I do not charge them, but it\u2019s a sense of duty to serve my community in Pakistan in a positive manner. Yes, I have taken a lot of initiative, for instance opening a chartable school for underprivileged families with my mother who could not afford to send their children to schools.   \r\nThrough the Scholarship for International Leaders Award, I wish to become a medium of change and at the same time providing support to my community. \r\n","72":"yes"}
