What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a fast-paced legal team where I can own remote PST deliverables—high-quality research, drafting, and meticulous file/calendar management—using my communication strengths and deadline discipline.

I’m a lawyer (LLB) and Senior Legal Assistant with over three years of experience handling legal research, document drafting, and remote workflows. I’ve worked within a fast-paced Kenyan law firm affiliated with the US TagLaw Alliance, where I learned to keep quality high even under pressure.

I conduct deep-dive administrative and legal research to verify information and ensure regulatory compliance. I also review and proofread sensitive legal documents for clarity, correct formatting, and accuracy, while managing high-volume files, calendars, and deadline tracking with meticulous organization.

I’m fully equipped for remote operations and committed to strictly working US Pacific Standard Time (PST) hours. Building on my Remote Independent Operations Manager experience with Dreamport—handling fast-paced client requests and maintaining strict performance/quality targets—I bring disciplined, independent execution using tools like Microsoft Office 365 and Google Workspace.
