• Ensure documents are properly saved, labeled, and accessible within the firm's document management systems.
• Assist with new matter setup, including ensuring correct client information and documentation are entered into firm systems.
• Log communications, case updates, and administrative activities within the firm's case management platform.

Scheduling & Calendar Management:

• Coordinate attorney and legal team calendars to schedule meetings, consultations, hearings, and internal case discussions.
• Ensure attorneys and staff have the correct documents and materials prepared for scheduled meetings.
• Help manage scheduling conflicts and ensure client appointments are handled professionally.

Operational Support:

• Assist the firm's operational leadership in maintaining administrative workflows and task coordination.
• Help track administrative tasks and ensure follow-ups are completed in a timely manner.
• Identify administrative gaps or workflow issues and communicate them so they can be addressed quickly.

What We're Looking For:

Experience:

• 2+ years of experience working as a Legal Assistant, Administrative Assistant, or similar, in a law firm environment highly preferred (but not required).

• Experience working within legal case management systems such as PracticePanther or similar and Lead Docket or similar, with the ability to manage tasks, deadlines, and case information accurately is highly preferred.

Organization & Attention to Detail:

• Exceptional organizational skills and strong attention to detail.

• Previous experience either managing administrative responsibilities across multiple cases and tasks without losing accuracy, or if not legal cases, similar.

Ownership Mentality:

• A self-starter who takes responsibility for their work and does not require constant direction.

• Someone who takes pride in maintaining organization, accuracy, and professionalism in everything they handle.

Communication Skills:

• Clear and professional written and verbal communication.

• Experience in interacting  with clients, attorneys, and team members while maintaining professionalism under pressure.

Analytical Thinking:
