Job Description

Our dynamic, boutique law firm is looking for a smart, motivated, and creative problem-solver to fill a mixed administrative role. Should have 2+ years of experience directly supporting trial / litigation attorneys. The ideal candidate will be able to navigate wearing a variety of hats, from face-of-the-firm at the front desk, answering phones and welcoming guests; to office manager ordering supplies and groceries and tidying up for meetings and depositions; to legal assistant / paralegal labeling exhibits, making trial binders, and organizing case files; to traditional executive administrative functions like letter-drafting and mail management; to the occasional personal errands for partners and other lawyers in a jam. We work hard to make our office a place where people like to work hard. If you’re looking to apply yourself with a small, tight-knit group of people that like each other and the work we do, you might be a good fit.



This is an in-office, full-time role that supports a team of 4-6 attorneys. Typical work hours are 8:30am – 5:30pm with the occasional need to stay late or offer weekend support
