What I'm looking for

I'm looking for remote legal support roles across multiple time zones.

At Compos Mentis Legal Practitioners, I draft and review legal documents and contracts across multiple practice areas, and conduct legal research on statutes, case law, and regulatory issues. My work has improved document accuracy and reduced revision cycles by approximately 20–30%.

I also assist with court document preparation and filing, manage client intake and case updates, and organise case files and document coordination. Earlier, as Legal Associate & Assistant at the same firm, I supported litigation through case-file organisation and document tracking.

At Adam Burke LLC, I provided remote support to an attorney in a criminal-defense practice. I handled client intake, legal research, document preparation, filing assistance, docket reviews, and matter updates using tools including MyCase, Notion, and Google Workspace.
