We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description of firm and role. We'll create sections: About the role (maybe a paragraph), Responsibilities (list), Qualifications (list), Benefits (list), Pay (list of ranges per location), Schedule (maybe mention hybrid schedule). Must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID. Must not include sections with filler. Must include only sections with real content. We need to parse content: - Intro: Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP ... seeking a Trademark Paralegal for the Trademark Portfolio Services department of the Intellectual Property Practice Group.

Morgan Lewis recognizes the benefits of supporting flexible working arrangements. This position can reside in any of the following locations: Washington, D.C., Boston, New York, Houston, Philadelphia, Orange County, San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Seattle or Chicago with a hybrid in-office/remote working schedule. Flexibility with overtime is required. That's about the role and location/hybrid schedule. - Key Responsibilities Include: list of responsibilities. - Experience And Qualifications: list of qualifications. - Salary ranges per location. - Benefits: mention total compensation package includes annual discretionary bonus, 401(k), medical/dental/vision/life/disability/accidental death and dismemberment/business travel accident insurance, health savings and flexible spending accounts, Employee Assistance Program, Work/Life Services, HealthAdvocate, Bright Horizons Back-Up Child Care, WageWorks Commuter Benefits, 9 paid holidays, 2 personal days, up to 20 days vacation, sick leave accrual, bereavement leave up to five days, up to 12 weeks paid parental leave per year, up to 10 weeks paid pregnancy disability leave per pregnancy. - Also mention at-will employment etc but that's boilerplate? Might be considered legal boilerplate; we should remove? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. At-will employment might be considered legal boilerplate; but it's part of substantive? Might be considered legal. Safer to remove at-will statements. Also remove "If hired, employee will be in an 'at-will position'..." and similar. Also remove "Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP is committed to equal employment opportunity..." etc. Remove California Applicants CCPA notice, accommodation contact, etc. Also remove "Details of participation in these benefit plans will be provided if an employee receives an offer of employment." Might be considered boilerplate but it's about benefits detail; maybe keep? It's more procedural. Probably remove. We need to keep substantive benefit details: list of benefits. We need to format sections:
