  • Assist with motion practice, including exhibit preparation and filing coordination
  • Support depositions, mediations, arbitrations, and trial preparation
  • Coordinate with clients, experts, vendors, and opposing counsel as needed
  • Maintain court calendars and ensure compliance with procedural deadlines
