What I'm looking for

I am seeking a legal operations or corporate governance role where I can apply my compliance, company secretarial and contract management skills, contribute to efficient processes, and grow into broader legal leadership responsibilities.

I am a detail-focused legal administrator with hands-on experience supporting General Counsel and Company Secretaries in corporate governance, compliance, and company secretarial duties. I have managed onboarding and contract workflows using DocuSign, maintained key corporate records, assisted with entity liquidation, and coordinated with international agents across multiple jurisdictions.

Previously I progressed from data research administrator to team leader, gaining experience in risk reporting, quality control (ISO 9001-aligned audits), client-facing issue resolution, and people management. I hold an LLB and an LLM in international law, and bring strong communication, organization, and digital skills (Microsoft Office, SharePoint, Teams, Adobe Pro).
