What I'm looking for

I am seeking a permanent PA, administrative support, or paralegal role in IP law or a similar professional environment where I can apply legal expertise, confidentiality, and strong organizational skills to support organizational goals.

I am a reliable and efficient Personal Assistant and Paralegal with over 10 years' experience supporting legal and executive functions, particularly in intellectual property and administrative environments.

I hold a Master of Laws (LLM) in Intellectual Property Law and earlier law and arts degrees, which underpin my expertise in legal documentation, filings, and compliance.

My career highlights include providing executive-level support, managing complex schedules and travel, preparing legal filings and client correspondence, and overseeing administrative operations while maintaining strict confidentiality.

I deliver organized, client-focused support, excel under pressure, and seek a permanent PA, Administrative Support, or Paralegal role where I can apply my legal background and administrative strengths to help an organization succeed.
