Step into projects or teams on an interim basis to ensure continuity of support during leaves, transitions, or new business initiatives.
Partner with practice, industry, and client engagement teams to implement marketing and business development initiatives that support client relationship goals and firm priorities.

Contribute to the development and maintenance of marketing collateral, credentials, lawyer biographies, website pages, and other client-facing materials.
Collaborate with colleagues on award and ranking submissions, ensuring information is accurate, current, and aligned with firm positioning.
Support the use of the firm's CRM and experience management systems, helping teams update contacts, experience lists, and other business development resources.
