• Assist attorneys and paralegals with case-related tasks and document preparation.
• Handle incoming and outgoing mail and other general office filing.
• Open and close the office and help maintain a professional, clean, and organized front-office environment.
• Monitor office supplies and assist with ordering and restocking as needed.
• Help wherever needed to keep the office and legal team running efficiently.

What We’re Looking For:

• Previous law firm experience is required.
• Clio Manage experience.
• Excellent computer skills are required. You should be highly comfortable working with Microsoft Office, electronic files, legal software, and multiple computer systems throughout the day.
• Experience drafting or preparing legal documents and working with court filings.
• Strong organizational skills and exceptional attention to detail.
• Professional and confident communication skills, both over the phone and in person.
• The ability to communicate compassionately and professionally with clients who may be experiencing stressful or emotional situations.
• The ability to multitask and transition easily between legal work, client communication, and administrative responsibilities.
• Someone who takes initiative, follows procedures, and makes sure tasks are completed accurately and on time.
• A team-first attitude and willingness to step in wherever help is needed.

What We Offer:

• Competitive pay based on experience.
• Full benefits, including health, dental, vision, and 401(k) with match.
