  • Leading discovery, deposition, and trial preparation support, including management of e-discovery platforms such as Relativity, privilege logs, and trial exhibit and demonstrative preparation.
  • Attending hearings and trials, including in Wilmington, and supporting the trial team on site as required.
  • Utilizing existing systems and developing new processes to organize, collect, store, and retrieve large volumes of paper and electronic case materials.
  • Coordinating and overseeing the work of junior paralegals and support staff on large matters, including training on Chancery practice and procedure.
