• Manage and organize the attorney's calendar, deadlines, filings, and meeting logistics, proactively flagging conflicts and time-sensitive matters
• Anticipate the attorney's needs and adapt quickly to changing priorities, working autonomously with minimal oversight while keeping the attorney informed

Document Preparation & Transcription

• Transcribe handwritten notes and mark-ups from the attorney and convert them into polished, court- and client-ready legal documents quickly and accurately
• Draft, format, proofread, and finalize pleadings, correspondence, contracts, corporate documents, and other legal materials consistent with firm style standards
• Maintain an extremely high level of typing speed and accuracy, with the ability to turn around lengthy or complex documents under tight deadlines
• Coordinate document execution, filing, and service, ensuring accuracy and timeliness across both litigation and corporate deliverables

Litigation Support

• Assist with preparation of pleadings, discovery, deposition materials, and trial exhibits
• Track litigation deadlines, court rules, and filing requirements across state and federal courts

• Flexibility to work extended hours during peak periods, balanced by the ability to manage downtime productively during slower stretches
• Strong knowledge of legal terminology, document formatting, and court/filing procedures
• High level of discretion and unwavering ability to maintain confidentiality
