  • Demonstrated working knowledge of eDiscovery review platforms (e.g., Relativity, EverLaw, eDiscovery Platform (Clearwell)) to identify documents for responsive and privileged reviews, including redaction of sensitive information.

  • Demonstrated working knowledge researching (e.g., Westlaw, Pacer) and drafting responses to interrogatories.

  • Excellent organizational skills and ability to maintain accurate records of assigned requests, including detailed case notes, discovery plans, maintaining case information into appropriate case management systems/ databases.
