Jesutofunmi Yewande
@jesutofunmiyewande
Legally trained Legal Assistant with 3+ years’ experience supporting attorneys through e-filing, case management, and documentation.
What I'm looking for
I’m a legally trained professional (LLB, BL) with 3+ years of experience in law office environments, providing legal administrative support, case file management, document preparation, and e-filing assistance. I’m highly organized and self-motivated, especially when juggling multiple deadlines independently in fast-paced legal settings.
In my roles as a freelance and in-office Legal Assistant, I’ve managed active litigation files by organizing pleadings, preparing hearing bundles, and tracking court deadlines. I also draft and review legal documents—contracts, NDAs, and correspondence—flagging issues and recommending revisions for attorney review.
I’m skilled at maintaining organized digital and physical filing systems for timely document retrieval, including client intake documentation and correspondence logs across high-volume caseloads. I communicate professionally with attorneys, clients, courts, and vendors, providing timely updates and coordinating case-related matters.
I bring a strong attention to detail and reliable administrative execution, from legal research to deadline & calendar management. I’m ready for immediate remote engagement where my legal support, coordination, and documentation discipline can help attorneys move cases forward efficiently.
