• Scrappy, resourceful, and comfortable learning on the fly
• A strong communicator who can write clearly and follow through on actions
• Trusted with sensitive and confidential information; good judgment, professionalism, and discretion are a must
• Happy to roll up your sleeves—no job is “too small"
• A plus if you are considering law school or a legal operations career path (commercial litigation, labor & employment, or corporate transactions)

Background / Experience

• 2 to 3 years of experience in legal support
• Curiosity about law, business, and strategy
• Comfortable with Microsoft 365 suite
