I’m a detail-oriented legal professional skilled in claims recovery, litigation support, and settlement negotiations.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I’m a legal professional with experience in claims recovery, litigation support, and negotiation. I draft legal pleadings, review claims before and after lodging in court, and advise clients on case potential and legal opinion while keeping legal processes on track.
In my recent role as a Legal Assistant, I facilitate communication between clients and legal counterparts, ensure compliance with court and legal procedures, and support court-case handling through accurate document preparation and follow-through. I also negotiate settlements and follow up on claim payments while maintaining clear, consistent communication with clients and stakeholders.
Previously, I supported advocacy work as a Legal assistant/Legal secretary and in roles that combined legal and reception duties. I conducted legal research, assisted in drafting affidavits and pleadings, maintained office records for active and closed cases, handled filing and scheduling, and supported client-facing communication—strengthening my ability to manage both legal detail and day-to-day operations.
