Challenge
High-stakes requests were crossing multiple teams and systems
Legal orders, records requests, workflow exceptions, and production
deadlines all needed cleaner ownership. The environment required careful
routing, better documentation control, and stronger matter readiness so
regulated requests did not get delayed or mishandled.
What I Owned
Workflow design, tracking discipline, and response-readiness support
- Supported an AI review initiative for legal documents and built workflow paths for Requests for Production of Records, subpoenas, bankruptcy matters, and other banking legal-document requests.
- Coordinated legal orders, legal holds, records requests, and workflow exceptions across internal teams.
- Used Brightflag to support legal-operations workflows, legal budget review, and invoice troubleshooting.
- Mapped documentation gaps, escalation paths, retention checks, and matter-file expectations.
- Connected current-state operational issues to cleaner response timelines and better downstream reliability.

Why It Matters
Transferable value for legal teams
The core skill here is not just processing requests. It is building an
operating layer around sensitive work so a legal team has cleaner intake,
clearer ownership, better status visibility, stronger records control,
and fewer preventable delays.
