  • Ability to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with law firm collections, litigation-related receivables, or post-litigation collections.
  • Familiarity with electronic billing platforms, client billing guidelines, trust accounting considerations,       and professional responsibility requirements related to client accounts.
  • Experience developing collections dashboards, performance metrics, or formal escalation frameworks.
