Innovative Outsourcing is proud to partner with The Hawkins Firm, a premier boutique employment law practice, to find a detail-obsessed Legal Assistant/Paralegal.
The Hawkins Firm isn't your typical litigation shop. They specialize independent workplace investigations, mediation, and high-stakes conflict resolution. As the firm grows, they need a dedicated partner to manage the intricate documentation and administrative architecture that keeps their investigations beyond reproach.
The Role: Impact & Responsibilities
This is a newly created position designed for a legal professional who loves the "investigatory" side of the law and thrives in an agile, tech-forward environment.
- Transcription & Witnessing: Serve as the official "eyes and ears" during witness interviews. You’ll take comprehensive, contemporaneous notes that serve as the definitive record for investigations.
- Word Processing & Drafting: Prepare formal memoranda, EEOC position statements, and client engagement agreements using firm templates.
- Billing & Client Care: Manage the billing lifecycle, from initial entry to resolving client questions with professional poise.
- Calendar & Travel Logistics: Own the Principal Attorney’s schedule, ensuring seamless travel and meeting coordination.
- Evidence Organization: Catalog diverse evidence (payroll records, handbooks, emails) to build clear factual timelines.
- AI Implementation: Actively utilize and experiment with Legal AI tools to streamline drafting and administrative workflows.
- Physical Assembly: Occasionally assist with the physical assembly of large document attachments and local site visits in the North Atlanta area.
Who You Are
- The Perfectionist: Your attention to detail is your "superpower." You catch the errors others miss.
- The Tech Enthusiast: You aren't just "aware" of AI; you are genuinely excited about how generative tools can revolutionize legal efficiency.
- The Neutral Observer: You possess a calm, professional presence, even during sensitive or high-tension workplace interviews.
- The Professional: You hold a Paralegal Certificate (strongly preferred) or have significant high-level legal assistant experience.
Requirements & Skills
- Software Savvy: Proficiency in Clio (Practice Management) is a major plus; familiarity with LexisNexis is beneficial.
- Location: While the role is remote, candidates must be local to the Atlanta area (Dunwoody/Alpharetta) for occasional physical document handling and onsite needs.
- Responsiveness: Ability to handle urgent client matters and quick-turnaround drafting requests.
