Virtual Legal Support Assistant supporting legal teams with case management, document drafting, and deadline tracking.

Nigeria
Message

At Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), I draft and review contracts, legal agreements, and court processes, and produce legal opinions that inform institutional decisions.

I also coordinate with external counsel on supporting court documents and case briefs, review internal policies against current legislation, and mentor law interns on research methodology and document quality.

At Niyi Akinsola and Co., I managed client relations and consultations, drafted and reviewed legal documents, and coordinated scheduling. I also completed property assessments for client transactions.

Across my legal roles, I’ve supported litigation preparation through legal research, document drafting, and deadline tracking. I’m certified in Clio and PracticePanther and equipped to support US and UK practice groups remotely.
