o Billing – send out cover letters with each bill to client, and enter partner's time

Experience in NetDocs (document management) and Adobe (bate stamping/labeling, signatures, page numbers) is very helpful.

The more years of experience, the better. Pay is contingent upon this, as well as fluency in the responsibilities above, L& E experience, caliber of past firms worked, and ability to commute into the office daily.
