At Modern Law, the first voice clients hear and the first face they see set the tone for their whole experience with us. Many of them come to us during some of the most stressful moments of their lives. We're looking for a Legal Assistant who sees that as a chance to make a real difference.

As the main point of contact for clients, you'll be the steady, welcoming presence that keeps them informed, reassured, and cared for. You'll also keep our attorneys and paralegals organized and moving forward. If you're energized by people, love making others feel heard, and do your best work in a fast-paced environment, we'd love to meet you.

• Be the client's go-to person. Serve as the primary point of contact for clients by phone, email, and in person. Answer questions, share updates, and make sure no one feels left in the dark.

• Create a great first impression. Greet clients and visitors warmly, manage the front desk, and help everyone who walks in or calls feel welcome and taken care of.

• Keep communication flowing. Respond promptly to client inquiries. Coordinate with opposing counsel's offices and make sure messages reach the right person quickly.

• Keep the team on track. Schedule meetings, appointments, and depositions, make travel arrangements, coordinate with vendors, and remind the team of upcoming deadlines.

• Support case preparation. Work with attorneys and paralegals to prepare and proofread legal documents, including pleadings, motions, subpoenas, affidavits, contracts, and briefs. Help with legal research when needed.

• Handle the details. Process mail, notarize and scan documents, take dictation, and help process client billing from daily time records with support from our accounting team.

Who You Are

• A natural people person who builds rapport easily and brings warmth and positive energy to every conversation.

• Calm, patient, and empathetic, especially when a client is frustrated, anxious, or upset.

• A clear, confident communicator, both in writing and on the phone.

• Highly organized and able to juggle many priorities without letting anything, or anyone, fall through the cracks.

• Proactive. You follow up before you're asked and take ownership of the client experience.

Qualifications

• 1–2 years of experience in a law firm as a legal assistant, secretary, or administrative assistant.

• Client-facing or customer service experience strongly preferred.

• Typing speed of 50+ words per minute.

• Comfortable with Microsoft Office.

• High school diploma or equivalent required; associate's degree a plus.

• Notary commission a plus.
