Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Outlook, Excel) and comfort with legal practice/case management software.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with strong attention to grammar, formatting, and detail.
Ability to work independently, prioritize competing deadlines, and follow through on tasks without constant supervision.
