NGEREBARA, THANKGOD VIOLET
As a legal Practitioner called to the Nigerian Bar since 2013, I have been opportuned to carry out both legal and secretarial roles and responsibilities for various law firm s, the most recent is Lawrence S. Okojaja, Senior Advocate of Nigeria & Co., The law firm has more than 100 clients which consist of Hotels & Resorts, oil and gas Companies, Maritime Companies, Property Managers, Logistic Companies, Banks, etc.
My responsibilites in the law firm included carrying out core legal research using both hard copy reports, tetxbooks, statutes and online legal authorities and reports. I also drafted contracts, joint venture agreements, project agreements, all types of pleadings both for superior and inferior courts.
De facto, part of my duties included carrying out client interviews Ab initio and using the elicited facts to prepare legal processes for filing at the court with the requisite jurisdiction.
My role as Paralegal secretary was due to the fact that we had no secretary for almost a year so I had to fill in the gap, as the Secretay, I was in charge of the Library, I ensured that all new books, law reports, newspapers, journals were all marked with ascension numbers and stamped before same is placed in the cabinet. I also ensured that all books in the Library were catalogued without misplacement. I also maintained a standard list of all office equipments, list of all client's as well as their contacts, subscription of internet, phone, etc. I was named the most efficient staff for 3 consecutive years.
I have the ability to work under pressure and I am a great listener and a good communicator, I also have knowledge in Microsoft applications. I have perfect understanding of legal parlance and documents having prepared some.
I look forward to working with your law firm as same will give me an opportunity of sharing some of my skills and moreso, learning from the most prestigious law firm in Qatar.
For my information regarding my experience, I can be reached through my phone number as follows: 66538575.
