US Legal Assistant

We are a NY-based law firm that is continuing to grow. We are adding two new positions to our team.

We are a law firm on track for aggressive growth and need an experienced paralegal/legal assistant to join our team. You will work directly with the owner and attorneys to support the team and help our clients.

We want to be known for helping our clients come out of an extremely emotional process, feeling like they are a better person in a better position, and having a team behind them that cares and fights for them. We are growing fast, and we need a Paralegal/Legal Assistant to hit the ground running.

- You see an opportunity for an organization where other people see a mess.
- You understand that sometimes leaving a message is OK, but you should keep trying until you speak to someone.

- You have an amazing affinity for focusing on attention to detail.
- You are very good with calendars, email, spreadsheets, word processing, and the Internet.
- You are an incredible juggler of tasks and can change gears quickly.

We love to help people learn and grow. Therefore, we need a Paralegal/Legal Assistant with experience. The ideal candidate will take the initiative on work that needs to be completed and finish tasks with minimal hand-holding.
