  • Conduct legal research, summarize depositions, and assist attorneys in developing case strategies.
  • Ensure all court filings are accurate, formatted correctly, and meet state and federal court deadlines.
  • Assist in mediation, hearings, trials, and arbitration proceedings as needed.
  • Collaborate with other paralegals and legal staff to meet firm and client expectations efficiently.
  • Maintain strict confidentiality and professionalism, adhering to firm policies on attendance, dress code, and security procedures.
