- Perform and assist with legal and factual research projects, including performance of complex factual research and analysis.
- Obtain relevant materials and citations from outside sources such as the Internet, public agencies, courts, and/or libraries, as well as case, statutory and/or regulatory law.
- Retrieve and review documents from clients and other parties.
- Prepare memoranda and summaries reflecting assigned work product.
- Manage and organize medium and large case document collections and productions, including electronically stored information.
- Accurately and completely record billable time spent and tasks performed in accordance with firm policy and client-imposed billing protocols; enter and release time promptly in compliance with the firm's announced deadlines.
- Maintain regular and consistent attendance and punctuality.
