  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Ability to interface with clients regularly.
  • Must be detail-oriented.
  • Ability to problem solve and work with a variety of personalities and work styles.
  • Must be a self-starter with superior organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple assignments within a fast-pace environment.
  • Proficient with MS Office Suite and a Document Management System desired.
  • Experience with AI tools including Co-Counsel, Co-Pilot and NetDocuments.
