What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a remote Legal Assistant / Paralegal role with a U.S. law firm, aligned with U.S. Eastern and Central hours, where I can support litigation, IP filings, and rights-focused legal work with confidentiality and strong docketing.

I’m an Ecuador-licensed attorney with 3+ years of combined law firm and public-sector experience, supporting litigation, intellectual property filings, and rights-protection programs. I’m recognized for legal drafting, docketing and deadline management, legal research, and clear client communication.

In my public-sector role with the Cantonal Council for the Protection of Rights, I formulated and mainstreamed local public policies for priority-attention groups and coordinated with courts, government agencies, and community organizations. I also designed rights-education workshops and served as custodian of sensitive institutional information, ensuring confidentiality and data integrity.

In private practice settings, I drafted and reviewed pleadings, motions, and appeals under attorney supervision, tracked court deadlines, and coordinated hearing dates and client meetings. I also supported intellectual property matters before SENADI by monitoring filings, maintaining case files and legal databases, and liaising across attorneys, clients, and third parties.
