Deborah User

I’m a Legal Executive Assistant with an LL.B. and Barrister at Law (B.L.) qualification, purposefully specializing in legal support rather than active practice. I bring formal legal training to every matter, deadline, and client interaction in remote environments.

Over three years of hands-on experience across intake, matter setup, and case coordination—especially with Clio. I’ve managed client intake workflows, ensured engagement agreement coordination, and supported court and filing deadlines with a focus on “zero missed deadlines” across active matters.

My work emphasizes responsiveness, accuracy, and organised documentation. I support billing administration and time entry, manage inbox communications and professional correspondence, and keep documents upload-ready and audit-aligned for fast retrieval.

I also have strong litigation support experience, including managing and indexing 100+ case files and improving document retrieval speed by 30%. In prior roles, I designed digital file systems that reduced retrieval time by 60%, helping attorneys stay ready for pre-trial and daily courtroom operations.
