What are the responsibilities and job description for the Part-Time Legal Operations Assistant position at Zammitti Law, PLLC?
No Legal Experience Required | Part-Time | Fully In Person
Zammitti Law, PLLC – Warwick, New York
$28,000–$38,000 annually | Approximately 20–30 hours per week
You do not need to come to us knowing how to prepare a deed, assist with trust funding, or organize a business-formation filing.
We can teach you those things.
What we cannot teach as easily is a natural desire to learn, take ownership, stay organized, solve problems, and help other people succeed.
Zammitti Law is looking for a curious, dependable, and technology-comfortable Legal Operations Assistant who wants to build a meaningful, long-term career with a modern estate-planning law firm.
This role combines legal support, project coordination, client communication, technology, and office operations.
You will work closely with our attorneys and legal team while learning how estate-planning, trust-funding, real-estate, and business matters move from the first assignment through final completion.
Every day is a little different. You may help prepare documents for an upcoming client signing, track an outstanding trust-funding item, communicate with a county clerk, organize a business record book, improve a checklist, or help the team use technology more efficiently.
This is a hands-on position for someone who likes making progress and creating order.
- Prepare and organize legal documents under team supervision.
- Assist with estate-planning and trust-funding projects.
- Help prepare deeds, business-formation documents, and filing packages.
- Coordinate with clients, professional colleagues, title companies, financial institutions, and government agencies.
- Track deadlines, documents, and action items from beginning through completion.
- Support client meetings and document-signing appointments.
- Maintain organized physical and electronic files.
- Assist with scanning, mail, document assembly, filing, and other office operations.
- Improve checklists, systems, and workflows.
- Use approved AI tools and technology to help make legal services more efficient.
- Love staying organized.
- Enjoy figuring things out.
- Take ownership and follow through.
- Notice details that other people miss.
- Learn new technology quickly.
- Communicate professionally and thoughtfully.
- Work well independently and as part of a close team.
- Welcome constructive feedback.
- Handle confidential information carefully.
- Want your skills and responsibilities to grow over time.
Legal experience is welcomed, but it is not required.
Experience in administration, customer service, banking, office support, executive assistance, or project coordination may transfer especially well to this position.
- Approximately 20–30 hours per week
- Fully in person in Warwick, New York
- Consistent weekday availability
- Annual compensation of $28,000–$38,000, based on experience, qualifications, and the agreed-upon schedule
- Opportunity for increased responsibility, additional hours, and long-term professional growth
- New York Notary Public commission is helpful, or you must be willing to obtain one
We are intentionally building a modern law firm that combines deeply personal client service with technology, automation, AI, and thoughtful systems.
We value:
- Honesty and accountability
- Initiative and follow-through
- Continuous learning
- Thoughtful communication
- Meaningful teamwork
- Genuine care for our clients and community
Your work will be visible. Your ideas will matter. Your growth will be encouraged.
