This individual will partner closely with attorneys and firm leadership, acting as the operational backbone of the office.

You’ll have the opportunity to:
- Work directly with top-tier trial attorneys
- Influence office operations and team performance
- Drive process improvements and operational efficiency
- Play a key role in maintaining a best-in-class office culture
