Part-Time Legal Administrative & Client Services Assistant
Toland Law • Hamden, CT, US
Posted 2 months ago
Do you take pride in being the person people can count on?
We are a small law practice focused on estate planning, elder law, Medicaid planning, and estate administration. Clients are often older adults and their families, and the work we do has a meaningful impact on their lives.
We are looking for a reliable, detail-oriented, compassionate administrative professional to join our practice on a part-time basis.
This is an important role. Your work will help make sure clients receive the prompt, thoughtful service they deserve—and will allow the attorney to spend more time providing legal services, developing relationships, and growing the practice.
This is a part-time, in-office position for 15-20 hours per week. Immediate start.
You will take ownership of routine administrative and client-service responsibilities, including:
Responding to routine client inquiries and providing helpful, professional follow-up
Contacting clients to obtain information and documents needed to move their matters forward
Copying, scanning, filing, and organizing documents
Maintaining accurate client and matter records
Entering and updating information in our practice-management software
Following established procedures for recurring administrative tasks
Keeping track of follow-ups and making sure commitments don't fall through the cracks
Supporting the smooth day-to-day operation of the office
We are looking for someone who is:
Detail-oriented — you notice errors and review your own work
Proactive — you see what needs to be done and follow through
Strong communicator — you can write clear, professional, and compassionate emails
Organized — you can keep track of multiple follow-ups and priorities
Dependable - you can be relied upon to keep your commitments
Careful listener — you follow instructions and ask questions when something is unclear
Warm and respectful — you treat clients with patience and dignity
Flexible — you can adjust when priorities change
Team player — you want to contribute to a small practice and make the attorney's job easier
Comfortable with technology — you can learn and consistently use practice-management and office software
Experience in a legal or professional office setting is preferred.
Compensation
$20 to $25 hourly, depending on experience and qualifications
