What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a legal administration role where I can support solicitors with accurate document and case preparation, strong calendar and filing coordination, and compliance-first work—while continuing to grow my responsibility in a supportive, deadline-driven team.

I’m a highly adaptable Administrative Support Specialist supporting legal teams with meticulous, deadline-driven administration. In my current role as an Administrative Assistant for Resolution Law at DWF Law (Liverpool), I schedule meetings and teleconferences, manage complex calendars, and maintain accurate records and filing systems.

I’ve built deep expertise in legal compliance and case preparation through my time as a Compliance Handler (Legal) at Bond Turner Solicitors. I collect, analyse, and prepare financial documents (e.g., bank statements, wage slips, invoices, tax returns, and IDs), liaise with banks and employers when information is missing, and build financial packs according to strict guidelines used during litigation processes.

I also serve as a Portuguese-English interpreter to solicitors and fee earners, supporting Brazilian and Portuguese clients while keeping documentation and case prep consistent. As a mentor, I managed three teams within the Compliance Department (Welcome Hire, PAD, and Lit), assigned daily jobs and caseloads, trained coworkers and new employees, and led quality-standard alignment by reviewing pack differences and organising approved training across teams.

Alongside my legal administration experience, I’ve developed strong people and operations skills through hospitality supervision, mobile care work, and warehouse responsibilities. I’m further strengthening my career with ongoing CertHE Law (University of Essex Online) and role-relevant compliance training, including annual GDPR, Anti-Money Laundering, Conduct and Ethics, Financial Crime, and Open Conflicts—supported by advanced Microsoft Office, Photoshop, and CorelDRAW skills.
