As a member of the LA Leads team and Firm’s All Leads team, I participated in the continual process improvement for my department, as well as addressing firm-wide issues and employee concerns. I was a vital contributor to the implementation and training of new cloud-based client and document management software. In conjunction with HR, I hired and trained all Legal Assistants for Illinois offices.
