- Collaborate with Legal Staff: Work closely with attorneys, case managers, and medical records teams to gather information and revise drafts as needed.
- Meet Deadlines: Prioritize and manage multiple affidavits simultaneously while maintaining accuracy and empathy.

- Experience working with lung cancer cases or asbestos-related personal injury claims is strongly preferred.
- Strong writing and research skills with the ability to transform technical and personal histories into clear legal documents
- Comfort conducting sensitive, sometimes emotional, interviews with clients and/or their families
- Detail-oriented and highly organized with the ability to manage multiple cases
