• A detail detective: You know that in law, everything can hinge on one overlooked triviality; you pour over every detail, letting no minor discrepancy, minutia, or legal loophole escape your ever-watchful eye
• Educated and experienced: You have racked up at least a year's experience in a legal environment; ideally, you've drafted contracts or dealt with corporate or court filings
• Communicator: You effectively communicate with team members to ensure the team is operating smoothly
• Diligent: You follow through on each task and follow up on needed response and guidance
