What are the responsibilities and job description for the Legal Administrative Assistant position at The Midtown Group?
About the Role
I am actively looking for an experienced Temporary Legal Administrative Assistant to join our Fairfax office for a short-term assignment. We need a reliable professional to step in for about 2 to 3 weeks (at 25–30 hours per week) to provide crucial coverage while one of our team members is out on medical leave. Ideally, I am looking for someone who can start this coming Monday, though we have a little flexibility for the perfect fit.
If you have prior experience working in a legal office and are comfortable jumping right in to handle day-to-day administrative support with minimal training, I would love to review your resume!
What You’ll Do
- Assist with court filings and prepare related legal documentation.
- Answer and route incoming phone calls with a high level of professionalism.
- Provide word processing, formatting, and document preparation support for an attorney.
- Maintain, organize, and file legal documents.
- Perform general administrative and clerical duties to keep the daily workflow moving smoothly while our regular employee is out.
- Optional: Assist with entering attorney time into our firm's billing and timekeeping system (if you have prior experience).
What You Bring to the Table
- Experience: Previous background as a legal assistant, legal administrator, or general law firm experience is strongly preferred.
- Legal Knowledge: Familiarity with court filings and standard legal office procedures.
- Tech Skills: Strong Microsoft Word and general document-processing skills are a must.
- Communication: Excellent phone etiquette and professional communication skills.
- Work Style: A quick learner who can work independently and easily adapt to our established legal office environment.
- Bonus: Experience with legal billing/time-entry software is a plus, but absolutely not required. My priority is your legal office experience, document processing skills, and ability to step in quickly!
