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”

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.
