Executive legal assistant delivering accurate documents, invoicing, and client support.
What I'm looking for
I support back + front-end operations for companies and law firms, bringing 4+ years of experience focused on invoice and legal document creation, plus clear communication with customers. I’m at my best in high paced environments where attention to detail and project ownership are essential.
Most recently, I’ve served as an Executive Legal Assistant at Bird & Bird, coordinating across Finance, Marketing, and international teams while supporting senior stakeholders across Regulatory and M&A. I manage and maintain CRM data for client accounts, handle invoicing processes (creation, review, and follow-up), and help ensure case documentation is aligned across EMEA and APAC.
Previously, I supported a boutique law firm by drafting and reviewing client communications, managing payroll and compliance tasks for 50+ accounts, and organizing legal and client records. I’m also experienced as a Front Desk & Support Agent, resolving payroll, contract, and HR inquiries via phone, email, and chat, while assisting with invoice processing and documentation.
