What are the responsibilities and job description for the Administrative Assistant position at Speech Law LLC?
Speech Law LLC is Ohio's only law firm focused exclusively on defending the public's right to free speech.
Representative clients include:
- whistleblowers like the police officers fired for asking who deleted the chief's son from an underage-drinking report (https://bit.ly/4banEoz)
- the proud owner of Ohio's first GAY license plate (https://bit.ly/4slBpab)
- the woman threatened with jail time for giving her mother's nursing home a one-star review on Google (https://bit.ly/4q3FOx4)
We aim to be the first stop for anyone looking to find and speak the truth, so we also do quite a bit of work on freedom of information, open meetings, open courts, and defamation.
Our client list is growing quickly, so we are looking to expand beyond a solo operation and bring in litigators who can assist with our First Amendment portfolio, as well as administrative support to keep things running smoothly.
