Maintain matter databases and electronic files by organizing and tracking case documents in accordance with retention policies.
Support settlement administration by gathering and organizing settlement data, preparing approval requests, requesting payments, reviewing agreements and releases, and coordinating signature routing.
Manage consumer complaint and contested matter correspondence by performing intake and logging, supporting investigations, drafting responses (e.g., CFPB, BBB, direct), and producing trend, risk, and management reports.
Support contract lifecycle management by coordinating intake, tracking, execution, and storage; preparing summaries, issue spotting, and redlines under attorney supervision; and maintaining templates, repositories, and version control.
Administer legal e-billing (e.g., Legal Tracker/Serengeti) by reviewing and coding invoices, tracking accruals, ensuring compliance with outside counsel guidelines, resolving discrepancies with firms, and monitoring legal spend and budgets.
Manage shared Legal inboxes and intake channels by routing inquiries, responding to routine requests, and escalating high-risk or sensitive matters.
Update policies, procedures, and internal documentation in coordination with Legal and Compliance leadership.
Handle routine legal issues under the direction of internal counsel.
Provide administrative support as needed, including proofreading drafts, obtaining execution signatures, and distributing fully executed documents to internal teams and outside counsel.
