• Draft routine pleadings, motions, and notices, then assemble exhibits, manage filings, and cite-check and proofread briefs so every filing is accurate and follows the court’s rules
• Take charge of trial prep: build trial notebooks, organize exhibits, coordinate witnesses, and work with opposing counsel, court staff, and presentation vendors
