Irem Akcan
@iremakcan
I streamline criminal litigation operations through practical legal technology, workflow automation, and court-focused systems.
CanadaWhat I'm looking for
At Markovitz Law, I manage legal operations for complex criminal defence matters from intake through resolution, including Provincial Court, Supreme Court, and appellate files.
I prepare and coordinate court materials, organize disclosure and transcripts, manage deadlines and billing, and work directly with courts, Crown counsel, Legal Aid, clients, and justice-system stakeholders. I build practical workflows with Microsoft 365, Power Automate, Clio, Adobe Acrobat, and AI-assisted legal tools.
Previously, I supported four Supreme Court of British Columbia judges as a Judicial Assistant, coordinating confidential records, calendars, hearings, and written judgments. I translate real legal-workflow challenges into structured systems that improve accuracy, information organization, and deadline control.
