In the office she balances client-facing work with research and drafting. Day-to-day tasks include client interviews, case strategy sessions and court appearances.

Outside courtroom hours, Rivera keeps up with changes in state practice through continuing legal education and firm-based training. Her academic background in communications informs how she explains legal issues to clients. That background also shapes the written work she produces for courts and for opposing parties.
