Clerical Assistant - Law Firm

We are a growing law firm that helps men make choices to ensure their children and wealth are taken care of in the event of a divorce or shift in the family dynamics. We strongly value making sure every client feels that during every moment of their relationship with our firm and after that those choices are safe with us.

We are searching for an entry-level clerk to assist with miscellaneous tasks within the law firm. That said, one of the key metrics of this role is to make everyone who you come into contact with, feel good from their interaction with you and that you were helpful to them. This is true whether it is someone external to the firm (they need to schedule an appointment, are looking to speak to a member of our legal team for a case update, address their invoice, or ask the various ways they can provide documents to us), or someone within the firm (asking you to make photocopies, clean up the main areas of the office, stock the refrigerator, find or order extra staples, etc, drop packages off to FedEx, the post office or the bank, grab lunch, etc). You are also the first one they greet upon arriving at the office!

You should be the kind of person who feels good helping others and can work with all types of personalities and people. You should have high, positive energy, be extremely and authentically personable, and be able to actively and intently and actively listen to people, always with grace and a smile.

More importantly, we need someone who can handle the growth of our firm and is adaptable to performing various tasks and assignments so we can continue to make a difference in people’s lives.
