I was also in charge of each attorney’s respective calendars, which included dealing heavily in client communication by way of scheduling, estate plan draft reviews and signings, and follow-ups. Along with these assigned tasks, I also aided in completing internal projects, such as a total template overhaul of Chuhak & Tecson’s Estate Planning documents. I also cross-trained two recently hired assistants, while helping in the interview process. Moreover, I took the lead in revamping our company’s secretarial desk references for each attorney throughout the firm. Furthermore, I also organized and consolidated all clients, prospects, and referral contacts for my attorneys to allow for widespread mailing and marketing of correspondence.
