What I'm looking for
I am an associate paralegal with hands-on experience drafting and reviewing NDAs, MSAs, SOWs, and vendor agreements, and securing final approvals from general counsel. I focus on liability, indemnification, and financial provisions to protect organizational interests.
I collaborate cross-functionally to ensure contractual compliance, support RFQ/RFP processes with sales teams, and manage litigation matters by coordinating with outside counsel and maintaining discovery and tracking files. I also assist with employment-based immigration petition preparation and filings.
My background includes legal administrative support for a commercial real estate team and prior experience in education and administrative roles. I bring advanced skills in Microsoft and Google Suites, iManage and LawVu, and legal accounting tools to drive accurate, efficient legal operations.
