  • Experience supporting attorneys through trial preparation and courtroom proceedings.
  • Excellent organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple active cases and deadlines.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.

The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys being an integral part of the litigation team, takes ownership of their cases, and thrives in a fast-paced trial environment. You are detail-oriented, resourceful, and comfortable balancing multiple priorities while delivering exceptional support to attorneys and outstanding service to clients.
