  • Communicate regularly with clients regarding next steps, expectations, document requests, and case status.
  • Collaborate closely with intake staff and employment attorneys to support case development and case strategy.

Requirements:

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • High attention to detail with excellent organizational abilities
  • Ability to manage multiple active matters in a deadline-driven environment
