- Maintain complete, accurate, well-organized electronic case files in accordance with firm protocols.
- Draft correspondence, reports, memoranda, motions, pleadings, and discovery documents, and complete case-specific legal forms accurately under attorney supervision.

- Communicate professionally with clients and stakeholders to obtain information, provide updates, and drive follow-up.
- Review work against instructions, checklists, and quality standards before submission; where applicable, assign and quality-check work delegated to legal assistants.
- Identify bottlenecks, missing information, process gaps, and risks, and recommend or initiate the appropriate next action.
- Required Qualifications
- Bachelor of Laws (LLB) or equivalent legal qualification.
- Substantial project management or coordination experience, with clear evidence of managing multiple priorities, deadlines, dependencies, and stakeholders.
- Relevant
