What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated paralegal with extensive experience in corporate governance and legal support, specializing in upper-tier fund transactions. My current role at Walker & Dunlop has honed my skills in investor diligence tracking, organizational document drafting, and managing complex legal processes. I thrive in fast-paced environments where precision and attention to detail are paramount.
Throughout my career, I have successfully contributed to various legal teams, including my previous position at Elkins Kalt Weintraub Reuben Gartside LLP, where I assisted with transaction closings and the formation of corporate entities. My ability to communicate effectively across departments and with clients has been instrumental in ensuring smooth operations and compliance with legal requirements.
With a strong foundation in legal research and document management, I am committed to delivering high-quality support and fostering collaborative relationships. I am fluent in both Russian and English, which enhances my ability to work with diverse teams and clients.
