• Assist attorneys with the preparation and review of legal documents, templates, and agreements, and coordinate with outside counsel on drafting, revisions, and production-related notes (scripts, cuts, and feedback).
• Maintain and improve legal team resources such as trackers, SharePoint sites, playbooks, and standard operating procedures.
• Support outside counsel management, including onboarding, invoice review, billing inquiries, budget tracking, and matter creation.

Requirements

• 1+ years of professional or military experience
• Speak, write, and read fluently in Spanish
• Experience with AI/ML technologies
• 1+ years of legal experience

Preferred Qualifications
