Conflicts Counsel (Lateral Hires Focus)

We need to output only HTML fragment, using

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include sections only if posting has real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions, EEO, etc. We need to decide which sections to include. The posting includes: - Intro about firm and commitment to diversity etc. That's "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could be description of role and firm. We can include a section "About the role" with description of firm and role overview. - Responsibilities: many bullet points (essential job functions). We'll list them as

• . - Requirements: includes Juris Doctor, active law license, two or more years conflicts-related experience preferred, computer proficiency, etc. Also ability to identify and analyze conflict, etc. That's more like qualifications/skills. We'll separate maybe "Requirements" for mandatory (JD, license, computer proficiency) and "Qualifications" for preferred experience, etc. But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. We have: - About the role: description of firm and role overview. - Responsibilities: list of essential job functions. - Requirements: maybe "Juris Doctor and active law license in the U.S. in the jurisdiction in which the candidate resides." Also "Computer proficiency in all Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, and Outlook) required." Also "Ability to travel to other Firm locations on occasion as needed." Might be considered requirement. - Qualifications: "Two or more years of conflicts-related experience preferred." "Experience with on-line reference materials and Boolean searching techniques preferred." "Experience with Intapp Open and Intapp Terms strongly preferred." Also maybe "Ability to identify and analyze conflict of interest issues and to recommend and implement solutions." etc. Those are more like skills/qualifications. - Skills: maybe list of abilities: strong writing skills, ability to respond effectively to sensitive inquiries, ability to track, manage, prioritize, etc. - Benefits: description of benefits: medical and dental coverage; life insurance; short-term and long-term disability insurance; pre-tax flexible spending account; employee assistance program; Paid Time Off; paid holidays; participation in a retirement plan program after meeting eligibility requirements; and more. - Pay: compensation ranges per state, plus note about bonus non-guaranteed. - Schedule: not explicitly mentioned; maybe full-time implied but not stated. The posting does not mention schedule specifics (e.g., full-time, part-time, hours). So we should NOT create a Schedule section because no specific content. We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience" etc. The Pay section includes specific ranges, so we can include. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, accommodation statement, application instructions (cover letter and resume), etc. Also remove "The above is intended to describe the general content..." etc. Also remove "If you need assistance to accommodate a disability, please contact HR." That's boilerplate but maybe considered accommodation statement; we should remove. Also remove "Please include a cover letter and resume when applying." That's application instruction. Remove "EOE/Minority/Female/Disabled/Vet. Principal Applicants Only." That's EEO. Also remove "The Firm will provide reasonable accommodations as necessary..." etc. Also remove "The above salaries do not include a discretionary bonus, however bonus opportunities are non-guaranteed, and are dependent upon individual and firm performance." That's part of Pay, we can keep as part of Pay description. Now we need to preserve all substantive information: we must not lose any details like specific responsibilities, etc. We need to format responsibilities as
  • . Each bullet from "Essential job functions include:" list.

Also there is a "LATERAL FOCUS" subsection: This position collaborates with colleagues to identify and resolve conflicts of interest issues, specifically those related to candidates’ former work or portable work. Conduct efficient review, identification, and resolution of conflicts of interest related to lateral candidates and new hires. Liaise directly, as needed, with recruiting, onboarding, firm leadership, and candidates throughout the clearance and onboarding process. Conducts training and provides resources on conflicts and new matter opening to new hires. These are also responsibilities; we can incorporate them into the responsibilities list. Now Requirements: - Juris Doctor and active law license in the U.S. in the jurisdiction in which the candidate resides. - Computer proficiency in all Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, and Outlook) required. - Ability and availability to travel to other Firm locations on occasion as needed. Also maybe "Two or more years of conflicts-related experience preferred." That's qualification. Qualifications: - Two or more years of conflicts-related experience preferred. - Experience with on-line reference materials and Boolean searching techniques preferred. - Experience with Intapp Open and Intapp Terms strongly preferred. Skills: - Ability to identify and analyze conflict of interest issues and to recommend and implement solutions. - Ability to respond effectively to the most sensitive inquiries or complaints. - Ability to track, manage, and effectively prioritize numerous responsibilities, emails, and conflicts requests. - Strong writing skills, with the ability to clearly and concisely communicate in an effective manner, particularly with respect to summarizing and simplifying complex or numerous conflicts issues. Also maybe "Ability to discuss conflict of interest issues with attorneys, analysts, business intake, other support staff, and firm leadership to identify and resolve potential conflicts of interest, while maintaining objectivity and professional independence." That's more responsibility. But we can keep skills as above. Now Benefits: - medical and dental coverage - life insurance - short-term and long-term disability insurance - pre-tax flexible spending account for certain medical and dependent care expenses - an employee assistance program - Paid Time Off - paid holidays - participation in a retirement plan program after meeting eligibility requirements - and more. We'll list as
    • . Pay: We need to include the compensation ranges per state/jurisdiction. Also note about bonus non-guaranteed. We should present as maybe a
      • for each state? Or a paragraph. The instruction: use
        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Pay is not a list of duties/requirements/benefits but it's a list of ranges; we could still use
          • for each state entry. That seems appropriate. We must not include placeholder like "commensurate with skill and experience" but we can keep that as prose? The instruction: Do NOT emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") . So we should avoid a Pay section that only says "commensurate with skill and experience". However the posting includes specific ranges, so we can include Pay section with those ranges. The line "Employees are entitled to compensation commensurate with skill and experience." is filler; we could omit that line as it's placeholder. But we must preserve ALL substantive information; is that substantive? It's generic; maybe we can drop it as filler. The instruction says do NOT emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. It doesn't say we must keep filler text; we can drop it. So we can omit that sentence. We must include the specific ranges and note about bonus. Now Schedule: no specific content, so we omit. Now About the role: we need to capture firm description and role overview. Let's craft a paragraph summarizing: Husch Blackwell LLP is a full-service litigation and business law firm with multiple locations across the US, serving domestic and international clients. Committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, teamwork, collaboration, client service, innovation. The Conflicts Counsel (Lateral Hire Focus) will be a member of the Conflicts Department collaborating with Conflicts, Client Engagement, and Risk Management to identify and resolve conflicts of interest related to intake/maintenance of business, lateral clearance, OCGs, RFPs, etc. Provide overview. We must not repeat job title as heading. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We'll produce something like:
