• Help build and maintain practical legal resources such as transaction playbooks, checklist templates, precedent files, and process guides to improve future deal execution.

• Support insider trading and stock ownership compliance matters by preparing Section 16 filings, monitoring reporting obligations, and maintaining related records and reference materials.

• Conduct legal and corporate governance research, including review of applicable statutes and formalities, with emphasis on Ohio and Delaware corporate requirements.

• Familiarity with Section 16 reporting obligations and stock trading compliance processes for directors, officers, or other insiders.

• Strong legal research, documentation, and organizational skills with close attention to detail.
