Maintain well-organized electronic files, legal records and confidential documentation.

Coordinate signatures, approvals and document execution, helping ensure key materials move forward efficiently.

Assist with meeting preparation, including agendas, briefing materials, meeting packages and follow-up activities.

Liaise professionally with executives, internal business partners, external legal counsel and other stakeholders.

Track priorities, deadlines and outstanding items, proactively following up where required.

Handle highly confidential and sensitive information with professionalism and discretion.

Anticipate the needs of the lawyers and executives you support and help keep competing priorities moving forward.
