Summary
Provides substantive legal support to attorneys through legal research, document drafting, case file management, e-discovery, court filing, trial preparation, and case-deadline/billing compliance. Distinct from Legal Secretary/Administrative roles (clerical scheduling and correspondence) and from licensed Attorney roles (cannot give legal advice or represent clients) — this focus centers on attorney-supervised substantive legal work and, at the most senior level, paralegal team leadership including workflow oversight, hiring, training, and performance management across practice areas.
