What I'm looking for

I seek a role providing legal/administrative support in a professional, collaborative environment where I can manage diaries, prepare legal documents, and contribute to efficient office operations.

I am a seasoned legal secretary with extensive experience supporting law firms and corporate legal departments, handling litigation documents, diary management, and client consultations. I bring strong organizational skills, excellent telephone etiquette, and a proven ability to prioritize tasks under pressure.

Throughout my career I have supported executives and legal teams at firms and corporations, performing diary and travel coordination, drafting and typing legal pleadings, managing office operations, and maintaining confidential records. My background includes debt collection processes, court document preparation, and minute-taking for high-level meetings.

I am computer literate across MS Office, Excel, Microsoft Mail and several legal software packages, and I consistently deliver reliable administrative support, clear client communication, and efficient office management to improve team productivity.
