Join a Team That Practices "Happy Law."

At Forbush Legal, we believe estate planning is about far more than documents—it is about protecting families, preserving legacies, and giving people peace of mind.

We often say that we practice happy law because we have the privilege of helping clients during some of life's most meaningful moments. We work hard, we laugh often, we genuinely enjoy one another, and we strive every day to create an exceptional experience for every client who walks through our doors.

We are looking for a compassionate, organized, and detail-oriented Legal Assistant to join our team. This position plays an important role in supporting our estate planning, probate, and trust administration practice.

If you enjoy helping people, love keeping things organized, and take pride in producing excellent work, we'd love to meet you.

Think This Might Be You?

We'd love to get to know you.

Please submit your resume along with a cover letter introducing yourself. Tell us about your professional journey, what draws you to this position, what you enjoy most about serving others, and why you believe you would be a great fit for the Forbush Legal team.

There is no required length—we're interested in learning about the person behind the resume.

Before you submit your application, we'd love for you to answer one final question in your cover letter:

If someone who knows you well—a former coworker, supervisor, friend, or family member—had to describe you in just three words, what would those three words be, and why?

One final request: If you've read this job posting all the way through, please include the word "legacy" somewhere naturally in your cover letter. We won't tell you why just yet—but at Forbush Legal, we believe the little things matter, and attention to detail is one of the qualities we value most.

We believe great legal assistants are more than organized and detail-oriented. They are compassionate, trustworthy, curious, and committed to making a difference in the lives of others. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear your story.
