- Participate in client meetings and assist with follow-up communications and deliverables

What You Bring:

- Excellent attention to detail, organizational skills, and follow-through

- Effective communicator with the ability to interface professionally with legal and client teams

- Post-secondary education in Business, Legal Studies, Finance, or a related field preferred
