In my role as Senior Specialist, I applied strategic thinking and precision to a range of projects, including new business pursuits, relationship management, lateral partner support and content management. Handling multiple competing priorities was an integral part of my job. I assisted in implementing programs that supported practice group business plans enhancing the firm's brand. My other responsibilities included working with practice leadership on various projects and initiatives, such as development of the RFP/RFI responses, client-specific presentations, proposals and other client-facing materials; management of the Litigation/Controversy department's submissions for legal directories, databases and other publications as needed; overseeing the planning and execution of the firm's webinars and targeted client events from beginning to end.

While assisting with business development activities across legal departments, I also continued to provide an enhanced level of service to nearly 500 of WilmerHale’s litigators and controversy professionals, who had played an integral role in many of the most significant cases across the globe.
