* Assist with any legal research related to construction regulations and contract terms, as needed.

* Ability to break down complex legal jargon and explain documents in a way that is easy to understand for non-legal professionals, particularly the CEO.
* Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple documents simultaneously.
* Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to convey legal concepts clearly and simply.
* High level of organization and ability to maintain accurate and up-to-date records.
