As a Legal Executive Assistant (LEA) within the Lateral Recruiting department, you will serve as a lawyer's right hand and an integral member of the practice. This role is designed for a self-starter with high energy who thrives on identifying creative solutions to complex business problems. You will manage the flow of information, screening and prioritizing requests from internal and external clients while supporting the team's mission to attract top legal talent.
