• Operations & Deadlines: Monitor deadlines, help manage calendars efficiently, and take initiative to problem-solve and anticipate team needs.
• Office Contribution: Complete errands, attend trials as requested, and help maintain office areas (kitchen, conference rooms) to improve overall team and client experience.

Who You Are

• Deeply familiar with legal procedures, protocols, and the court system (preferred).
• Highly organized, proactive, and comfortable managing multiple tasks and deadlines under pressure.
• An expert user of legal technology and office software (including Microsoft Office, CLIO/Lawmatics, Dropbox, Quick Books, etc.).
• Eager to contribute as a team player, willing to step up, and comfortable working with minimal supervision.
• Bonus points if you're bilingual, but not required!

What You’ll Get
