Who are you? We’re looking for a highly organized individual who thrives in a busy, fast-paced environment--we know you’ve heard this before, but we’re not kidding. We’re growing--fast--so we’re looking for folks who are excited to match pace and help us expand our litigation support services offerings. If you are ready to hit the ground running  and want to have a direct impact on the services we provide to our clients, then this role is for you!  If a fast-paced environment that is equal parts challenging and rewarding doesn’t motivate you, then the operations team is probably not the right fit.
