You are a go-getter Legal Assistant who is ready to take on the world, but who will settle for getting to mostly run all the details of the one you’re in every day.
You’re a quick learner who is also super organized. You learn things right the first time because you’re almost obsessive about your note writing and diligence to the process, plus you’re hungry to find answers on your own. People probably describe you as type A.
You enjoy a job with a variety of responsibilities for the extra challenge and fun, plus they really give you a chance to shine as you swiftly develop and implement systems that make everything run smooth.
Honestly, you’re one of the most reliable and trustworthy people you know.
You’re great with people and you know how to communicate, even in difficult situations, but you really prefer to work on your own when possible.
Your systems for getting everything handled without a hitch are pretty great after all...
We are a busy, four attorney law firm in Downtown Los Angeles. You can read more about us at wagensellerlaw.com, but the important thing is, we’re looking to get YOU on the team.
Officially, the position we’re hiring is Office Manager/Legal Assistant, but those titles can mean different things to different people, so here’s a quick run-down of what the day-to-day looks like:
Admin, Legal, and Marketing support - answering phones, handling client requests, legal calendaring, writing emails, keeping books (Quickbooks), paying bills, preparing and sending invoices with MyCase, formatting and filing legal briefs, social media, assisting the attorney directly, processing of client files (copy, scan, fax, email, etc), etc. That’s not everything, but it’s a good sampling.
In a nutshell, we’re looking for the wheel that keeps the whole machine whirring along perfectly.
A right-hand person that can be trusted to take care of our practice and our clients reliably and with excellence so we can focus on doing great legal work.
Someone who comes with a lot of knowledge already, but who can get up to speed in the areas they’re missing quickly.
This position IS NOT for an entry-level candidate or someone who is looking for a low-pressure 9 - 5 job. Although the general hours ARE M-F 8-6ish (TBD), we’re really looking for the person who likes to be first in, last out.
You must have AT LEAST two years experience managing multiple duties in a high-traffic office to qualify and you have to be willing to put in extra hours or work odd hours when needed.
Law office experience is necessary, as you’ll understand the detail-oriented and deadline-driven requirements.
We do welcome superstars near the beginning of their professional career that demonstrate they have what we need and the ability to problem-solve like a seasoned pro.
This position will offer a lot of opportunities for growth, learning, and networking in the DTLA legal community - one of the most prestigious in the world, so we’re looking for someone up for the challenge.
We’re willing to pay anywhere from $22/hr to $60K/year to start, depending on experience.
The interview and hiring process will test your abilities every step of the way, so if you think you’re the perfect match and this is just what you’re looking for, apply above and get an interview immediately.
