What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a part-time or full-time remote legal support role serving attorneys or corporate legal teams, where I can contribute legal research, document drafting, conveyancing, case management, and compliance support across US time zones.

At Midwest Legal Partners, I support US-based attorneys with legal research, contract drafting, court filing preparation, due diligence, and case management across litigation, employment, commercial, and property matters.

I've drafted and negotiated agreements for lease and leases across 8+ major real estate development projects, supported $50M+ in real estate transactions, and managed 50+ concurrent matters with 100% deadline compliance.

As an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya and Certified Secretary, I bring practical experience in conveyancing, corporate governance, compliance, legal documentation, and remote collaboration across US time zones.
