• Support Legal department operations, including litigation reporting, budget and invoice processing, project coding, cheque requests, supplier setup, mail and couriers, team communications, service-date reminders, drive access, and contract transfers.
• Crosstrain across core Legal support functions and provide coverage during vacations and workload peaks, including support with Marketplace agreements, vendor renewals, and other assigned Legal projects.
