Organized: You have exceptional organizational skills and can manage multiple assignments, working with different in-house and external counsel at a time, supporting large complex cases, as well as managing smaller matters on your own.

Our team is responsible for a wide variety of activities, and our work environment is always evolving. We’re looking for someone who can roll with shifting priorities and juggle them with ease.
Attention to Detail: Some tasks will be big, and some will be small, but they all require attentive care to ensure accuracy and excellence.

Professionalism: We interact with people at all levels within the company, as well as outside. We hold ourselves to a high standard of professionalism, both within our team and in our dealings with others.
People Skills: You enjoy working collaboratively with all levels of an organization. You listen well, treat others with kindness and empathy, and are good at building relationships.
