HybridOTHR$77.48–$102.67/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role? The posting includes a summary paragraph at start: "DLA Piper is, at its core...". That's like an About the role or firm description. Could treat as "About the role" or "Overview". The instructions: use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have: - Summary/Overview: first paragraph about firm culture and summary. Could be "About the role" or "Overview". We'll use

About the role

then

with that text. - Location: mention location and hybrid schedule. Could be under "Location" but not in list of allowed headings; but we could incorporate into a short

maybe under About the role or separate? The instruction says we can fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include location and hybrid schedule in a

after the overview. - Responsibilities: we have a list of duties. Use

Responsibilities

then
  • each. - Desired Skills: could be under Skills heading. Use

    Skills

    then list. - Minimum Education, Certificates, Minimum Years Of Experience: these are qualifications/requirements. Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. We'll use

    Requirements

    and include education, certificates, experience. - Essential Job Expectations: could be under Expectations but not in allowed headings; maybe combine into Requirements or Skills? Could be under Requirements as well. But we can create a section "Expectations" but not in allowed list; better to fold into Requirements or maybe under "Qualifications". The allowed headings include Qualifications. So we could use

    Qualifications

    for education, certificates, experience, expectations. But we also have Skills separate. Let's decide: Use Requirements for education/experience, Skills for skills, and maybe Qualifications for expectations? However we have limited headings; we can use Requirements for education/experience, Skills for skills, and maybe Qualifications for expectations (though expectations are more like job expectations). But we can also put expectations under Requirements as they are requirements. Simpler: Use Requirements heading for education, certificates, experience, and essential job expectations. Use Skills heading for desired skills. - Physical Demands and Work Environment: could be under a section? Not in allowed headings; we could fold into a short

    maybe under Requirements or separate? Probably we can include a short paragraph under Requirements or maybe under a generic "Details". But instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Physical Demands and Work Environment into a

    under Requirements or maybe under a separate section "Working Conditions" but not allowed. Safer to include as a

    after Requirements. - Pay: we have hourly range $77.48 - $102.67 per hour. That's specific pay info. So we should create

    Pay

    with

    containing that range and note about non-exempt, overtime, etc. Also mention benefits: we have benefits info: medical/dental/vision insurance, 401(k). So we can create

    Benefits

    with

    listing those. - Schedule: we have hybrid work schedule mentioned earlier. Could create

    Schedule

    with

    about hybrid schedule. - Also we have disclaimer, application process, accommodation, EEO etc which we should remove as boilerplate. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from responsibilities, desired skills, education, certificates, experience, expectations, physical demands, work environment, pay, benefits, schedule, location, etc. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not create sections with placeholder text. So each heading must have real content. Let's extract details: Firm description/summary: "DLA Piper is, at its core, bold, exceptional, collaborative and supportive. Our people are the backbone, heart and soul of our firm. Wherever you are in your professional journey, DLA Piper is a place you can engage in meaningful work and grow your career. Let’s see what we can achieve. Together. Summary Under the supervision of attorneys, performs a range of substantive case, matter or entity related duties. Work independently to manage large multi-disciplinary project teams, guiding them through the zoning entitlement process.

Benefits: We offer a comprehensive package of benefits, including medical/dental/vision insurance, and 401(k). Schedule: Already mentioned hybrid work schedule; but we can still have Schedule section: "Hybrid work schedule (remote and in-office)." Also note: Non-California applicants who apply for this California-based role do so voluntarily and are not eligible for relocation assistance. Relocation benefits, if any, are provided only where a relocation is required at the firm’s direction and in accordance with applicable policy and law. This is relocation info; could be included under Benefits or maybe a short p. But it's substantive. We could include under Benefits as additional note. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, disclaimer, application process, accommodation, agency applications, immigration sponsorship, etc. Now construct HTML. We'll have:
