Keep your legal team on track by monitoring and managing team adherence to deadlines. Make travel arrangements for teammates.

Demonstrate exceptional written and verbal communication skills, as well as organizational and time management skills. Be tech-savvy and enjoy learning new software and systems through experimentation and research.
