As a paralegal working in the litigation group, I act as a case manager to assist in moving cases smoothly through all phases of litigation including trial. I support the attorneys I work with by maintaining client communications throughout the case and by tracking key case deadlines. I always strive to work each case in the most efficient and cost effective manner, and to regularly communicate with clients and attorneys so that all goals can be reached. Communication is a key priority for me.
I have a special interest in the techniques of e-discovery and am focusing on applying those skills to improve workflow across the firm.
