Job Description

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being part of the city’s legal community while working closely with decision-makers.

• Familiarity with LEDES billing requirements
• Exceptional attention to detail and commitment to accuracy
• Ability to manage multiple deadlines independently
• Professional, confident communication style when working with attorneys, partners, and vendors

Benefits

• Short-term and long-term disability insurance
• Benefits consistent with attorney benefits
