What I'm looking for

I seek a stable legal-administration role where I can apply litigation support, document drafting, and client-facing skills in a collaborative, professional firm.

I am a dedicated and driven Legal Secretary with twenty-four years of extensive experience across various legal areas, including litigation. I consistently go above and beyond to provide exceptional work and meet client and firm expectations.

My experience includes drafting pleadings and notices, preparing correspondence and documents, managing incoming and outgoing mail and emails, and conducting client consultations. I am proficient with legal platforms such as Caselines and AJS and skilled in Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint.

I manage administrative functions including scheduling meetings, arranging accommodation and transportation, processing payment requisitions and EFTs, maintaining filing and stationery systems, and balancing petty cash. I also liaise with third parties such as the RAF regarding pending payments and follow up on outstanding amounts.

I bring strong communication, time management, leadership and teamwork skills, with a reliable work ethic and commitment to high-quality standards. I am diligent, organized and focused on effective problem solving in fast-paced legal environments.
