They should have experience working in consultation with IT vendors and Epiq, in particular, to set up the specifications for collections. They should also be able to set up work spaces; s set up field layouts; process documents; and load document productions for delivery to third parties, having redacted all metadata, as necessary, for privilege. Candidates must work well with others and be capable of managing multiple assignments.

A JD degree and New York Bar Admission, in good standing, are required for the position. The role is a hybrid in-person and remote role. The firm will clarify the in-office requirement.
