Ability to follow established procedures, instructions, and firm systems for document handling and file maintenance.
Proficiency in routine document tasks such as converting documents to required formats (e.g., Word or Excel to PDF) and saving files to designated repositories.
Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment and communicate effectively with paralegals, attorneys, and support staff.
Ability to work under direct supervision while meeting deadlines and supporting multiple assignments as directed.
Ability to handle basic issues independently and escalate more complex matters appropriately.

Required Qualifications & Education:
