We expect an entrepreneurial attitude and a desire to do whatever it takes to serve the clients’ interests. Candidates must have a strong work ethic, excellent written and oral communication skills, and a desire to strengthen relationships with clients and tackle legal challenges in a fast-paced environment. At the same time, we treat our Technical Legal Assistant as a colleague who is eager to learn from experienced attorneys.
