notarization, initials) are correct.
• Communicate professionally and promptly with clients by phone and email, documenting all contact in
the matter file.
• Deliver final documents and binders to clients in a timely, polished manner.
• Track clients flagged for plan reviews or updates and follow up on schedule.
• Maintain strict confidentiality and follow firm procedures and SOPs in all tasks.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills and a warm, professional client manner.
• Excellent organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple active matters at once.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office; comfort learning case-management and document software.
