ABOUT CANTRELL LAW FIRM

Cantrell Law Firm is an Oklahoma City area business law practice founded by former entrepreneurs who understand what it takes to build, scale, and operate successful ventures. We bring real-world business experience to our legal counsel, advising clients across all stages of growth, from startup formation to M&A transactions and exit strategy.

Our firm practices general business law with a focus on corporate transactions, oil & gas, and estate planning. We are a growing firm that pairs sophisticated legal work with a genuinely client-first culture, and we are looking for a Legal Administrative Assistant to be the welcoming, organized, initial point of contact for the clients we serve.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

This is a front-office and client support position at the heart of our daily operations. You will be the first voice clients hear and a steady hand keeping the office running smoothly. If you are personable, detail-oriented, and take pride in making people feel taken care of, this role is for you.

As a Legal Administrative Assistant at CLF, you will:

• Answer and route incoming calls, take messages, and greet clients and visitors with professionalism and warmth.
• Schedule client meetings, consultations, and internal appointments, and manage attorney calendars.
• Guide new clients through the onboarding process, including intake paperwork, engagement documents, and initial information gathering.
• Order and maintain office supplies, and coordinate with vendors as needed.
• Support the attorneys with general administrative tasks, correspondence, and file organization.
• Help keep the office environment organized, professional, and running efficiently day to day.

HIRING CRITERIA

Required Qualifications:

· Excellent phone presence and interpersonal skills, with a client-first attitude.

· Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.

· Ability to manage multiple priorities and stay calm under a busy schedule.

· Proficiency with standard office software (Microsoft Office suite, Google email and calendars, Adobe Acrobat, and related) and a willingness to learn our practice management tools.

· Prior administrative, front desk, or client-facing experience preferred; experience in a legal or professional services office is a plus.

· Discretion and reliability, given the confidential nature of legal work.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Annual Base Salary: $40,000 to $48,000 commensurate with experience.

Comprehensive Benefits Package:

· Health, dental, and vision insurance available with employer contribution

· 401(k) retirement plan, with contribution matching

· Generous paid time off

WHY CANTRELL LAW FIRM?

Real Entrepreneurial Environment. At CLF, you'll join a rapidly growing practice where your voice truly matters in shaping how the firm operates. We're building something special, and we're looking for people who bring fresh ideas, energy, and initiative to the way we run our office and serve our clients. Unlike traditional law firms, our founders have actually built and sold businesses, so we understand that a well-run front office is not overhead. It is the foundation the entire practice stands on.

Meaningful Client Relationships. You'll be the first person our clients talk to and often the one they rely on most. Our clients are entrepreneurs, oil & gas operators, and business owners who value a firm that is responsive, organized, and easy to work with. The relationships you build at the front desk and through the onboarding process shape how clients experience CLF from their very first call.

Real Ownership of Your Role. We trade busy work for genuine responsibility. You'll be trusted to manage the calendar, the intake process, and the daily rhythm of the office without someone looking over your shoulder. If you see a better way to do something, we want to hear it and we will give you room to implement it.

Merit-Based Growth. We have moved away from rigid seniority. Team members who demonstrate an owner's mindset can grow into expanded responsibility, whether that means client services, office operations, marketing support, or paralegal work. Your path here is defined by what you contribute, not by how long you've been in the seat.

Better Work-Life Balance. We're a family-focused firm that understands the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance. We value hard work, but we respect that you have a life outside the office. At CLF, we strive to empower our team with the flexibility and autonomy to take care of our clients while also making time for what's most important.

Growing With Purpose. CLF is scaling strategically across Oklahoma, with long-term goals to expand regionally. We're adding practice areas, growing our team, and building lasting relationships with quality clients. Joining CLF now means getting in early on that growth and having a real voice in how the firm's operations and client experience develop as we scale.
