Who We Are
meet the founder
Pam Padayachee
I am … firstly I am “ME”, a strong, determined, passionate and fearless woman. I’m also a wife, mother and author (Tranquility in Colour – an adult colouring in book) an entrepreneur all rolled into one! When I’m not at my desk I love baking, gardening and doing arts and crafts with my daughter. I’m a huge fan of Jay Shetty so I love getting my daily dose of motivation by watching his videos.
My burning desire to always achieve success in everything that I pursue comes from my role models, my Mum and Dad who always transformed a crisis into an Opportunity. So, I am a proud Opportunist!
Having worked in the legal industry for over 20 years, my in-depth knowledge and experience enables me to assist legal professionals in an efficient manner. My reputation for “prettifying” documents exceeds me and I often hear – “It’s like magic!”. My “eagle eye” is my superpower. My areas of expertise are formatting legal contracts and creating standard documents, legal transcription and proofreading and editing (I am the spelling and grammar police!).
about
PMV Virtual Assistants
PMV Virtual Assistants was born a year after Pam had her daughter, in 2009. At the time, in Pam’s “Jar of Life” work, family and play were the biggest rocks. As Denzel Washington says: “Do what you have to do, to do what you want to do.” Pam worked her full-time job and ran PMV as her “side hustle” for ten years. The year 2020 marked the beginning of a new chapter for Pam running the business full-time. Now this “side hustle” is a unique legal virtual assistant company providing specialised, efficient and cost effective legal secretarial services to small and medium sized law firms and some of the “Big Five” law firms in South Africa.
The team at PMV becomes yours and shares your vision. The team is made up of graduates and individuals who have been in the legal industry for “many moons”. Our graduates train hard and our training program makes sure that they are prepared and knowledgeable enough to handle anything you can throw at them. You get to enjoy the benefits of having a superhero for an assistant. An incredibly trained and collaborative work force = Supercharged Productivity.
They maintain high standards of quality at all times and deliver timeously. PMV believes that each client’s needs are specific and not a “one size fits all”. PMV has plans that work for everyone.

What Clients Say…
“We use PMV Virtual Assistants for transcription and assistance with preparation of bundles for court. I am immensely impressed by Pam’s work ethic, dedication and quick turnaround.”
“Pam helped us create and set up our best of class, simple templates and then trained our team in using them. In addition, the team at PMV has helped out on more than one occasion with urgent formatting, editing and transcription services – definitely going above and beyond when called upon.”
“I have been using PMV Virtual Assistants specifically for transcription services since 2020. PMV Virtual Assistants provides just that: near-perfect transcriptions which are used in the Labour Court. The costs are reasonable – coupled with both the quality and speed.”
“Pam is knowledgeable, patient and enthusiastic when it comes to teaching. Attending her training not only provides one with the skills to succeed but is an enjoyable experience in itself. Pam goes out of her way to make herself available and is always only a phone call away to help with any formatting or editing issues. I strongly recommend the team at PMV and their services. It has been an absolute pleasure learning from Pam.”
“The flexibility, service and cost-effective offering of PMV Virtual Assistants has been invaluable in allowing us to build a successful legal practice.

“Pam’s services have been the solution I didn’t know I needed, but now I cannot remember life before Pam.

“It is without hesitation that I recommend Pam if you are looking for an enthusiastic and knowledgeable person to train staff on House Style and formatting.

Pam is a stand out operator in her field and would most certainly be an asset to any company.”
