Human Resources Coordinator

Who We Are

Best Lawyers is one of the most respected names in the legal industry, recognizing top attorneys through a rigorous, peer-reviewed process across the U.S. and around the world. For more than 40 years, we’ve helped clients identify outstanding legal counsel while building a trusted global brand rooted in integrity, excellence, and credibility.

Just as importantly, we care deeply about how we operate internally. We believe great companies are built by great people, supported by thoughtful systems, clear communication, and a strong culture. That’s where this role comes in.

Why This Role Is Special

This is not a back-office admin role. This is an early-career launchpad into Human Resources.

As our Human Resources Assistant, you’ll work closely with the HR Manager and gain hands-on exposure to everything that happens across the employee lifecycle—from recruiting and onboarding to engagement, data, and performance support. You’ll see how a modern HR function works inside a growing, private-equity-backed company and play a real part in shaping the employee experience.

We are intentionally hiring someone who wants to build a career in HR. We will invest in your training, pay for your HR certification (SHRM or PHR), and give you the opportunity to grow into an HR Generalist role over time.

You will be highly visible across the company, regularly interacting with candidates, new hires, employees, and leadership. If you enjoy working with people, being organized, and learning how great companies are built behind the scenes, this is a fantastic place to start.
