Your responsibilities will range from the essential (filing & scanning) to the engaging (reviewing legal documents, proactively managing tasks elicited from incoming mail, client calls, and more).

  • Law firm experience is a plus, but if you’re eager to learn and grow, we want to hear from you!


This is an entry-level role, but for the right person, the sky's the limit. If you enjoy asking questions, learning new skills, and going above and beyond to support your team, you’ll thrive here.


What We Offer:

  • Bonuses and incentives for meeting and exceeding goals.
  • A supportive environment where hard work and initiative are rewarded.


If you’re looking for more than a job—and want a career that challenges and excites you—with teh ability to grow with the Firm - apply today!

Compensation:

$53,000 - $58,000 yearly

Responsibilities:

Perform essential administrative tasks like filing, scanning, and creating / maintaining organized records and client files.

Review and process legal documents with accuracy and attention to detail.

Proactively manage tasks arising from incoming mail, ensuring timely follow-through.

Effectively monitor tasks to ensure 100% completion in a timely manner.

Make outgoing calls to clients, gathering information, providing updates, and offering excellent service and client experience.

Occasionally back up the receptionist by answering incoming calls professionally and confidently (a minor part of daily tasks).

Collaborate with attorneys and paralegals to support ongoing legal matters and projects.

Track your time on a daily basis (our Firm bills tracks all time for all employees, and we generally bill on an hourly basis so accuracy is key)

Assist with various office tasks and contribute to a well-organized, efficient workplace.

Qualifications:
  • Education & Experience: Bachelor’s degree preferred, but not required. Prior experience in a law firm or professional office environment is a plus.
  • Organizational Skills: Exceptional ability to multitask, prioritize, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
  • Tech-Savvy: Proficient with Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook) and comfortable learning new legal software and systems. Experience with billing software is a plus.
  • Communication Skills: Strong verbal and written communication skills, with a professional and personable demeanor. Confidence in speaking with clients, attorneys, and other professionals is essential.
  • Attention to Detail: Meticulous in reviewing documents, managing deadlines, and ensuring accuracy in all tasks.
  • Problem-Solver: Proactive and resourceful, with the ability to identify challenges and implement effective solutions.
  • Team-Oriented: Collaborative and supportive, willing to jump in and assist colleagues while also working independently.
  • Client-Focused: Friendly, approachable, and committed to providing excellent service to clients.
