@ligiapignatti
I support clients and legal teams through document preparation, case management, and clear communication.
What I'm looking for
I've supported legal clients and public defenders in Brazil by conducting intake screenings, preparing initial declarations and petitions, issuing formal correspondence, and guiding people through procedural requirements with professionalism and empathy.
At CMG Advocacia and Amparo District Court, I handled collections agreements, contract review, powers of attorney, certificates, and electronic case files using E-SAJ. My experience combines legal document work, customer service, compliance, and organized case administration.
More recently, I've taught English in Belgium and Italy, creating lesson plans and interactive learning activities while adapting to different cultures, age groups, and learning needs.
