Feeling like you can't cut a break?
I know how running a business and multiple files can feel like there is always so much to do and not enough time.
You can't be successful in business and law alone.
That's where I can become your right-hand woman!
You'll have to get your own cups of tea, but I can take care of your inbox, calendar, projects, and events!
About me
👋 Hello there! I'm Rachael Russell, a Legal Virtual Assistant with a passion for organisation, processes, and efficient workflows. As a dedicated lover of to-do lists, I thrive on helping legal professionals, particularly in the realm of family law. I have experience in Collaborative Resolution, PPPR applications, L4C and L4SP process.
With 20 years experience as a high level executive assistant in Legal, Brewery Operations, Field Sales and Field Operations- with developed skills in Agile Methodologies, Project Management, Power Automate, SharePoint, and Power Query.
You'll be in safe hands with me....You'll be blown away by how I can whip your inbox into shape and have you organised so well you'll never miss another appointment again.
When I'm not immersed in Legal Virtual Assistant tasks, I enjoy embracing the joys of family life as a proud mum to Ollie, wife to Mark, lifestyle farmer and Air B&B host!
Who I help
I am a Legal Virtual Assistant who support busy lawyers and small law firms overwhelmed by administrative tasks and casework. I do this by handling legal research, drafting documents, managing calendars and deadlines, and communicating with clients.
I also love leveraging technology to improve and automate many of these processes, further streamlining workflows - freeing you up to focus on high- value client strategy and billable hours.
In short, I help lawyers regain control of their time, maximize their earning potential, and operate more efficiently.
I work with each lawyer/firm to create a service plan that suits their individual needs.
A legal VA you can trust
Don't just take my word for it!
As a member of ADMINZ (Association of Administrative Professionals NZ Inc), VANZ (Virtual Assistant Network of NZ), and mentored by the VA Foundry, I'm dedicated to professional development and exceeding industry standards.
Furthermore, I've had the invaluable experience of working alongside some top Commercial, IP, and Family lawyers, who provided me with exceptional mentorship.
This combined expertise allows me to offer not just administrative and project management skills, but also a deep understanding of legal processes.
I prioritise transparency, keeping you informed about my capabilities (and limitations), and exceeding your expectations
