About the Role

We are seeking a highly detail-oriented legal Secretary with strong legal drafting capabilities to support our U.S.-based legal operations team.

  4. Translate legal instructions, attorney markup, or case updates into clean, error-free drafts.
  5. Maintain consistent document structure, tone, and compliance standards.

  6. Ensure all documents meet U.S. court formatting rules (training provided).

  7. Case File Support & Data Management

  8. Organize supporting documents and ensure accuracy of case information in various legal systems.

  9. Review case updates and translate required actions into accurate legal drafts.

  10. Upload, update, and maintain case records and tracking sheets in assigned systems.

  11. Workflow Management & Quality Control

  13. Flag any discrepancies, incomplete information, or procedural issues.

  14. Maintain strict confidentiality and ensure data integrity across all deliverables.
