• “We know that the smartest people, with the greatest initiative, read the Bressler Risk Blog, so I want to encourage interested candidates to reach out!”
• “And for those without extensive docketing/records experience, I wanted to note that we understand and expect that most candidates will have a history focused on conflicts and intake. That’s okay, as this is the main focus of this role, but we will expect them to learn the docketing and records pieces on the job. That’s another great opportunity for advancement here.”
