About

I am an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya and have over 5 years of legal experience, which includes 2+ years post-admission to the bar practice in litigation, real estate, and contract law. For the last two (2) years, I have been working as a remote paralegal and legal assistant for US, Australian, and U.K.-based attorneys and Law Firms through Upwork, offering drafting, contract review, and transaction coordination services at a paralegal's level and above.

My focus is on ensuring my efforts lead to a measurable impact for clients. My work contribution has assisted clients in avoiding costly errors, optimizing their operations, and achieving stringent court and regulatory deadlines. On the Kenyan side, I have handled property conveyancing, personal injury litigation, multi-party real estate document coordination with escrow, and drafted contracts that are enforceable and withstand negotiation.

As a legal consultant, my areas of specialization are:

  1. Drafting and reviewing contracts of employment, service, lease, and sale agreement contracts for enforceability and compliance.
  2. Preparing court documents for litigation, such as pleadings, submissions, and briefs as and the supporting documents as a strategy for the case.
  3. All aspects of real estate transactions, including conveyancing, title transfers, settlement review, residential and commercial due diligence.
  4. Drafting clear and actionable legal opinions as well as research to direct operations for the clients under research and compliance.

If you are looking for a reliable legal assistant/paralegal on a full-term basis, then I am the right candidate for you.
