We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro: "Our client, a leading U.S. financial institution, is seeking an experienced Commercial Real Estate Lawyer to support its legal team on a full-time basis. This position is based in Charlotte, NC with a hybrid schedule requiring three days/week onsite."
- Then description of role: "This professional will provide legal support across a broad range of commercial real estate matters, including leasing, acquisitions, dispositions, property operations, and strategic real estate transactions. The ideal candidate will have experience managing sophisticated real estate matters in a law firm or in-house legal environment and will serve as a trusted partner to internal business stakeholders and legal colleagues."
- Then "We are actively seeking Commercial Real Estate Lawyers located in Charlotte, NC with the following qualifications:" then list bullet points (but they are sentences separated by periods). We need to extract list items.
List of qualifications:
- Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited law school and active bar membership in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.
- Approximately 8-10 years of commercial real estate experience gained in a law firm, corporate legal department, or combination thereof.

- Strong organizational and project management skills with the ability to prioritize competing responsibilities in a fast-paced environment.

- Experience supporting financial services, banking, or highly regulated industries is preferred.
- Epiq Counsel partners with industry-leading clients in support of their sophisticated interim talent needs. Must be interested in practicing in an alternative, fixed-term legal services model.
Then after that: "Support Our Client On The Following" then list of duties:
- Draft, review, and negotiate commercial real estate leases and related agreements.
- Support real estate acquisition, disposition, and transaction activities across a diverse property portfolio.
- Advise on commercial real estate matters involving owned and leased properties, including operational and strategic initiatives.
- Analyze and resolve legal issues relating to maintenance obligations, easements, condemnations, property disputes, landlord-tenant matters, and purchaser-seller matters.

- Build effective working relationships with internal clients and legal team members while proactively identifying issues and opportunities for support.
- Manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously while maintaining attention to detail and meeting deadlines.
- Support additional transactions, initiatives, and special projects as needed.
Then "Benefits" list:
- 401(k) with company match
- PTO and paid federal holidays
- Optional medical coverage; HSA Account; Wellness Program
- Employee Assistance Program
Then after that: "Should your experience meet the role requirements, the Epiq Counsel team will contact you. The Epiq Counsel team strives to respond to all applications; however due to the volume of applicants, we cannot always respond to every application."
Then "About Epiq Counsel" paragraph(s). That's boilerplate about the company; we need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "About Epiq Counsel" seems like company description; is that considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's about the company. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "About Epiq Counsel" is not explicitly listed to remove, but it's kind of generic marketing. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The "About Epiq Counsel" is substantive about the employer. Should we keep? The instruction says "remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate". This is not that. It's a description of the company; could be considered relevant. However we also have "About the role" heading we could use for the initial description. The "About Epiq Counsel" could be considered "About the company" but not requested heading. We have headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put the initial description under About the role. Responsibilities could be the duties list. Requirements/Qualifications could be combined? The instruction says use headings for those categories if they have content. We have qualifications list (JD, years experience, etc.) and also "Experience supporting financial services, banking, or highly regulated industries is preferred." plus "Must be interested in practicing in an alternative, fixed-term legal services model." That's more like requirements/qualifications. We could have a Requirements section containing those bullet points. Skills could be things like communication, organizational, project management, ability to work independently, etc. But we might combine.
We need to avoid thin sections. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have:
- About the role (intro + description)
- Responsibilities (duties list)
- Qualifications (education, experience, specific skills)
- Benefits (list)
We could omit Requirements vs Qualifications duplication. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid using both Requirements and Qualifications; but we should avoid thin sections. We could combine education/experience into Qualifications, and put skills like communication, organizational, etc. into Skills. But we have many skill-like items. Could make a Skills section.
Let's decide:
About the role: includes the initial paragraphs about client, location, hybrid schedule, role purpose.
Responsibilities: the list of duties under "Support Our Client On The Following".
Qualifications: education (JD, bar), years experience, experience drafting leases, experience supporting acquisitions/dispositions/portfolio management, understanding of CRE operations, experience in financial services/banking/regulated industries preferred, interest in alternative fixed-term model.
Skills: proven ability to analyze complex legal issues, assess risk, provide practical business-oriented advice; excellent written/verbal communication; strong organizational and project management skills; ability to work independently while contributing within team; strong understanding of CRE operations (maybe already in qualifications). But we can keep.
Benefits: the list.
We should not include Pay or Schedule unless specified. The posting mentions hybrid schedule requiring three days/week onsite. That's schedule info. Should we include a Schedule section? The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. The posting does state schedule: "This position is based in Charlotte, NC with a hybrid schedule requiring three days/week onsite." That's specific. So we should include a Schedule section with that detail.
Pay: not mentioned, so omit.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Schedule.

The posting does state schedule: "This position is based in Charlotte, NC with a hybrid schedule requiring three days/week onsite." That's specific. So we should include a Schedule section with that detail.
Pay: not mentioned, so omit.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Schedule.
We need to output only HTML fragment, using for each section heading, then content: either
for prose, or
- for lists.
We must not repeat the job title as a heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to ensure we include all details from the posting, except boilerplate we remove (EEO etc). Let's identify boilerplate to remove:
- The long paragraph about Epiq Counsel (starting "About Epiq Counsel" through the EEO statement) is likely boilerplate about the company and EEO. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should remove the entire "About Epiq Counsel" paragraph and the EEO policy statement that follows. Also remove the lines about "Should your experience meet the role requirements, the Epiq Counsel team will contact you. The Epiq Counsel team strives to respond to all applications; however due to the volume of applicants, we cannot always respond to every application." That's application instructions (contact). Should be removed per instruction: remove application instructions. So we remove that.
Also remove any duplicated lines (none seen). Also remove any navigation etc.
Thus we keep:
- Intro: "Our client, a leading U.S. financial institution, is seeking an experienced Commercial Real Estate Lawyer to support its legal team on a full-time basis. This position is based in Charlotte, NC with a hybrid schedule requiring three days/week onsite. This professional will provide legal support across a broad range of commercial real estate matters, including leasing, acquisitions, dispositions, property operations, and strategic real estate transactions. The ideal candidate will have experience managing sophisticated real estate matters in a law firm or in-house legal environment and will serve as a trusted partner to internal business stakeholders and legal colleagues."
- Qualifications list (the bullet points after "We are actively seeking Commercial Real Estate Lawyers located in Charlotte, NC with the following qualifications:").
- Responsibilities list (the bullet points after "Support Our Client On The Following").
- Benefits list.
- Schedule: hybrid schedule three days/week onsite.
We might also include location Charlotte, NC in About the role.
Now we need to decide how to split qualifications vs skills.
Qualifications list includes:
- Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited law school and active bar membership in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.
- Approximately 8-10 years of commercial real estate experience gained in a law firm, corporate legal department, or combination thereof.
- Demonstrated experience drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial real estate leases and related agreements.
- Experience supporting real estate acquisitions, dispositions, and portfolio management matters.
- Strong understanding of commercial real estate operations and related legal considerations.
- Proven ability to analyze complex legal issues, assess risk, and provide practical business-oriented advice.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to effectively collaborate across legal and business functions.
- Strong organizational and project management skills with the ability to prioritize competing responsibilities in a fast-paced environment.
- Ability to work independently while contributing effectively within a collaborative legal team.
- Experience supporting financial services, banking, or highly regulated industries is preferred.
- Epiq Counsel partners with industry-leading clients in support of their sophisticated interim talent needs. Must be interested in practicing in an alternative, fixed-term legal services model.
The last two are more about preference and model; could be qualifications.
Skills could be: communication, organizational, project management, ability to work independently, ability to analyze complex legal issues, etc. But many overlap.
Given we want few sections, maybe we combine qualifications and skills into one "Qualifications" section that includes all bullet points (including skills). Then we have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Schedule.
That seems reasonable: we avoid thin sections.
Thus sections:
