She later served on the Board of Directors of the National Housing Corporation in St. Kitts and Nevis, also holding the role of Board Secretary, contributing to governance and policy development.

Vadeesha’s international outlook is reinforced by her recent completion of executive training in International Commercial Arbitration at King’s College London in collaboration with the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC), supporting the firm’s growing cross-border practice.

Her approach is pragmatic, results-driven, and deeply client-focused, combining rigorous legal analysis with practical commercial insight.
