We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities (maybe combine duties), Requirements/Qualifications/Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule? The posting includes benefits and salary ranges. No explicit schedule. So we include Benefits and Pay sections. Also maybe Overview? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content. So we need sections: About the role (we have "About The Role" paragraph). Responsibilities: we have many bullet-like paragraphs under Administrative Coordination etc. Could group as responsibilities. Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: we have "About You" with qualifications, experience, skills. Benefits: we have "About Our Benefits". Pay: we have salary ranges. Schedule: none, so omit. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. Remove navigation, cookie, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. The posting includes "Overview At MoFo..." and "About Mofo", "About Us", etc. Those are likely boilerplate; we should omit them. Keep substantive info: About The Role, responsibilities paragraphs, About You (qualifications), About Our Benefits, Pay ranges. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The responsibilities are currently in paragraphs with headings like Administrative Coordination, General Practice Support, etc. We could treat each heading as a subsection? But instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert those duty paragraphs into list items. Could group under Responsibilities
        with each duty as
      • . Similarly for qualifications/skills: we can list as
          . Benefits: list as
            . Pay: maybe just

            with salary ranges. We must not invent or summarize away detail. Must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from those sections. Let's extract: About The Role paragraph: "The Legal Practice Coordinator is a trusted partner to attorneys and timekeepers, delivering high-impact administrative and practice support in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. This role blends organization, problem-solving, and project coordination to keep attorney schedules, client matters, billing, and practice initiatives running seamlessly.

That's prose; we can keep as

We need to preserve all these bullet points. They are currently sentences; we can turn each into
