Administrative Assistant

This isn't a job. It's a launchpad.

At Kelley | Uustal, we don't just practice law - we change lives. Our work is high stakes, high impact, and deeply personal. Every case is a fight for justice that matters.

Now, we're looking for someone exceptional to work directly with our founding partner. This isn't your typical assistant role. This is a blank canvas. A chance to build something meaningful. To become indispensable. To grow into a role as dynamic as you make it.

What You'll Actually Do

You'll be our founding partner's right hand - the person who makes his world run seamlessly so he can focus on winning cases that matter. Your day might include:

Personal Support That Actually Matters:

• Managing our founding partner's calendar like a chess game - anticipating conflicts before they happen
  
• Taking notes and managing action items during high priority meetings and phone calls. Managing his phone system
  
• Handling errands that free up his time: this could look like anything from coordinating complex travel, arranging local transportation, all the way to gifting, facilitating repairs, or even tech stack upgrades
  
• Keeping his space running smoothly: seamless logistics, organized systems, stocked fridge

Administrative Excellence:

• Coordinating firmwide initiatives
  
• Assisting with in-house event logistics
  
• Being the connective tissue between our founding partner and the marketing department, looping them in on his speaking engagements, events, filming and content opportunities
  

Legal Support (bonus points, not required):

• Scheduling depositions, hearings, and legal proceedings
• Requesting medical records
• Providing clerical and administrative case support

Who Thrives Here

You don't need a legal background. You don't need years of experience. But you do need:

Hunger: You're eager to learn, grow, and take on more responsibility. You see potential where others see tasks

Humility: You check your ego at the door. No task is beneath you if it moves the mission forward

Intelligence: You're sharp, resourceful, and figure things out. You connect dots others miss

Anticipation: You learn his rhythms, preferences, and needs so well that you're solving problems before he knows they exist

Loyalty: You're not just showing up for a paycheck. You're committed to making our founding partner's work - and by extension, our clients' lives - better

Initiative: You don't wait to be told what to do. You see what needs doing and you get it done

What We're Not Looking For:

• Someone who wants a 9-to-5 with clearly defined boundaries
• Someone who needs their hand held
• Someone treating this as a stepping stone to somewhere else
• Someone who sees "assistant" as a limitation rather than a foundation

What You Get

This role is what you make it. Start as an assistant, grow into a trusted advisor. Take ownership, prove yourself, and watch the role expand around your abilities.

You'll work directly with one of the most respected attorneys in the nation. You'll be on the inside of cases that change lives. You'll have autonomy, trust, and the resources to excel.

And you'll be part of a firm where skill, drive, and heart aren't just buzzwords - they're requirements.

Are You Ready?

If you're hungry to build something, smart enough to figure it out as you go, and humble enough to start from anywhere - we want to meet you.

This isn't a revolving door. This is a career. Make it yours.
