@chinedunwordu
Dedicated junior legal associate focused on litigation, contracts, and remote legal services.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated legal professional with hands-on experience in legal research, contract drafting, litigation support, and compliance management. I bring a results-driven approach, having contributed to measurable improvements in case outcomes and contract dispute reductions.
In my current role as a Junior Legal Associate, I drafted over 30 legal opinions, prepared court processes with full compliance, and achieved favorable results in a high percentage of cases handled. I consistently streamline case management and documentation to improve efficiency.
Previously, as a Legal Intern, I supported drafting of contracts and MoUs, participated in due diligence and compliance audits, and optimized document filing systems — all of which strengthened litigation filings and reduced client risk exposure.
I seek fully remote legal opportunities where I can apply my litigation experience, contract expertise, and commitment to professional development to deliver high-quality legal services and support organizational compliance.
