- Perform data entry tasks accurately within file management systems.
- Support with document preparation, proofreading, and/or legal drafting tasks.
- Organize and maintain filing systems both electronically and physically,



ensuring easy retrieval of documents.
- Coordinate appointments, interviews, and meetings.
- Assist with project management tasks related to case files or administrative tasks.
- Perform various administrative tasks such as distributing invoices, and collecting and processing payment.
