- Conduct legal research and handle law and motion practice
- Assist with settlement negotiations and mediations
- Assist with trial preparation, including Motions in Limine, jury instructions, and special verdict forms
- Maintain regular communication with clients, opposing counsel, experts, and other parties
- Meet all court-imposed and internal deadlines
