Kokori Ejiro
@kokoriejiro
Detail-obsessed legal drafting professional specializing in contracts, pleadings, and regulatory compliance.
What I'm looking for
I’m a legal document professional known for producing accurate, polished work across corporate, litigation, and regulatory matters. I bring “zero tolerance for error” to drafting, proofreading, and formatting—so submissions are consistent, complete, and compliance-ready.
In my current Associate role at South & Castle LP, I draft, review, and revise documents including contracts, agreements, deeds, powers of attorney, resolutions, and corporate instruments. I also proofread legal opinions and advisory memoranda, using a systematic checklist-based approach to ensure accuracy, formatting consistency, and alignment with applicable legal standards.
Previously, as a Trainee Associate (NYSC) at Akinwunmi & Busari LP, I drafted pleadings, motions, affidavits, legal opinions, and memoranda while maintaining strict standards for evidentiary materials and legal risk identification. I supported trial preparation with organized documents and pre-trial checklists, and I documented mediation and ADR proceedings with clarity and precision.
I’ve also built a strong foundation through internships where I drafted legal correspondence and court filings, conducted legal research on employment law and regulatory compliance, and managed case files for easy retrieval. I’m now eager to apply my transferable drafting and document review skills to support an estate planning law firm’s high-precision legal operations.
