• Track deadlines, maintain litigation files, and help ensure matters move forward in a timely manner.
• Communicate with attorneys, clients, and other legal team members regarding case updates and required documentation.
• Participate in a hybrid work environment while maintaining consistent collaboration and responsiveness across matters.
