Serve as a liaison between attorneys, clients, and internal departments.

Provide backup and overflow support to the administrative team as needed.

What We're Looking For:

3-8 years of experience as a Legal Administrative Assistant in a law firm.

Strong knowledge of client billing practices and outside counsel guidelines.

Proficiency in Microsoft Office, iManage, and 3E/Elite (required).

Excellent written/verbal communication, time management, and organizational skills.

Friendly, adaptable, and team-oriented with a proactive mindset.

Availability to work overtime, if needed.

Bonus:

Experience with federal and state court filing procedures.

Familiarity with space management tools (e.g., Maptition).

Previous support of multiple attorneys in litigation or environmental law is a plus.

If you're a polished legal admin looking to step into a dynamic and respected law firm, we'd love to hear from you. This role offers the chance to get started immediately on a temp basis, with the goal of converting to a long-term position if it's a strong mutual fit.
