Cadwalader Legal Secretaries consistently help our attorneys address the most challenging legal and business issues. They combine their own skills - many of which are enhanced in our comprehensive training program - with modern technology and the assistance of an extensive administrative staff to help Cadwalader provide a superior level of legal representation. Legal Secretaries are responsible for typing and proofreading correspondence and documents, maintaining files, coordinating mail, arranging meetings and conferences, scheduling appointments, maintaining calendars, making travel arrangements, and assisting with special client projects.
