What are the responsibilities and job description for the Legal Operations Assistant position at WENZEL BENNETT HARRIS PC?
Legal Operations Assistant
Wenzel, Bennett & Harris PC | Alpena, Michigan
Full-Time | In-Office with Some Hybrid Flexibility
Be the person who keeps everything running smoothly while building a meaningful career in a supportive, team-driven law firm.
About Us
We are a fast-paced, team-oriented law firm in Alpena focused on estate planning, probate and trust administration, business law, and college law.
Our work matters, and so does how we do it. We believe in strong systems, thoughtful training, and a supportive environment where everyone plays a role in delivering an exceptional client experience.
We also value balance, offering flexibility, no evenings or weekends, and a team culture that genuinely enjoys working together.
About the Opportunity
We are creating a new role for someone who enjoys being hands-on, staying organized, and making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.
This is a great fit for someone who likes variety in their day and takes pride in being the person others rely on to keep things moving. You will support the physical, in-office side of the firm while working alongside a team that values collaboration and growth.
What You’ll Be Doing
You will be the person who helps keep the office running efficiently and professionally each day. This includes:
- Welcoming clients and vendors and creating a positive first impression
- Managing mail, scanning documents, and maintaining organized files
- Assembling estate planning binders and preparing client materials
- Handling outgoing mail, deliveries, and occasional local errands
- Keeping the office organized, stocked, and running smoothly
- Supporting scheduling, communications, and general administrative needs
No two days will look exactly the same, and that is part of what makes this role engaging.
What We’re Looking For
- Someone who is organized, reliable, and takes initiative
- A friendly, professional communicator who enjoys helping others
- Detail-oriented and able to manage multiple tasks
- Comfortable working both independently and as part of a team
Experience in a professional or legal office is helpful but not required. We are open to training the right person who brings the right mindset and work ethic.
Benefits
Schedule and Compensation
- Salary range: $42,000 to $54,000 - based on experience
- Full-time, primarily in-office with some flexibility
- Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Why This Role Stands Out
This is a newly created role where you can step in, make an immediate impact, and grow with the firm. If you enjoy being part of a team, staying organized, and contributing to a positive, professional environment, you will find this to be a rewarding place to build your career.
