About me
I am a Virtual Legal Assistant and I offer virtual assistance and C-Level administrative support to legal practitioners, busy professionals, and practicing law firms.
I have more than twelve (12) years of experience providing legal and administrative support. I used to work for a BPO company as a Researcher and Writer for almost eight (8) years. I was also a Legal Assistant for a Banana Exporting company and a General Virtual Assistant for a Jewelry Manufacturing Company based in the USA.
Currently, I am working part-time as a Virtual Assistant for a law firm based in Australia. I managed their legal management software in terms of creating new matters, doing time entries, and keeping the client’s files updated and ready for billing.
Further, I also work part-time as a Practice Manager for a Legal Consultancy Office based in Dubai and Dammam, KSA. I managed the counsel’s emails and calendar of activities, as well as, the office files and records.
With my proven experiences, I can help in so many ways, but my number one goal is to give my employers MORE TIME to do the things they are good at so they can worry less on “not-so-important” tasks that are essential to their profession.
