- Client File Support: Prepare client files and intake paperwork, assist attorneys with documents for pickup or signature, and support the intake process for consultations.
- Administrative Support: Handle mail and faxes, maintain office equipment (copiers, printers), and support day-to-day correspondence with courts, attorneys, and paralegals.
- Office Management: Order and maintain office supplies, equipment, and refreshments for both the Omaha and Lincoln offices; coordinate with outside vendors (cleaning, security, maintenance) as needed.
- Event Support: Help prepare spaces for firm events and assist with occasional errands (e.g., courthouse runs).
