You are an amazing scheduler with a sickening degree of attention to detail
You are very good with calendars, e-mail, spreadsheets, word processing, and the internet
Your middle name is “No Drama”
You are an awesome juggler of tasks and can change gears quickly
You do not think scanning and copying are “beneath you”

The ideal candidate will be able to take initiative on work that needs to be done and complete tasks with minimal hand-holding.

This is a full-time job where you are expected to manage a caseload, so you absolutely must be able to work *in the office* for 40 hours per week. There is an opportunity for bonus compensation for those who can demonstrate their contribution to the firm's success.
