Part-time (to start) Legal Assistant

PUBLIC Posting: Legal Assistant

$23–33/hr, based on experience and qualifications · Part-time to start, about 20 hrs/week during business hours · In-office, Beverly Hills.

Do you genuinely enjoy meeting and helping families? Are you organized, resourceful, and someone who actually enjoys solving problems? Do you get bored doing the same thing every day? If so, you might be THE ONE we're looking for.

How to Apply

Submit your resume and a brief cover letter answering:

• Why would you be a valuable addition to our firm, and why is this role a good fit for you?

• What three adjectives would a past coworker use to describe you?

• What experience or interest do you have with AI, technology, social media, or marketing?

Put I'M THE ONE in your subject line. Attention to detail matters here, so applications without it won't be considered.

The Role

You'll be the organized, friendly guide who keeps each family's planning process moving, so our attorneys can focus on counseling and plan design. No two days look the same.

What you'll own:

• Client experience: guide families through each stage, answer phones and email, and schedule meetings and signings

• Documents and files: gather client information, prepare documents and correspondence (we'll train you), and keep files organized

• Firm operations: handle admin tasks and use technology and AI to make how we work smarter

• Marketing and outreach: support social media, client outreach, and community events

No task is "beneath" anyone here. From an important client project to making coffee or running an errand, we all jump in.

In your first six months, you'll grow from learning our systems to owning the client experience from first call to signed plan, preparing reliable drafts, and leading at least one marketing project.

Where This Role Can Go

This role starts part-time, but it isn't meant to stay small. For the right person, the path looks like:

• More hours, growing to full-time as the firm grows

• A move into Assistant Director and possibly Director of Client Experience

Pay grows as your role and responsibilities grow. If you are THE ONE, we'll take a genuine interest in your development.

You May Be a Great Fit If You

• Are highly organized and detail-oriented

• Communicate clearly and warmly, in writing and in person

• Are comfortable with Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, and learn new software quickly

• Solve problems creatively and juggle priorities without losing details

• Are curious about marketing, social media, and AI tools like ChatGPT, Canva, or a CRM (no formal experience needed)

• Education: Associate (Preferred)

• Legal administrative: 1 year (Preferred); estate planning experience is a plus, not a requirement.

• AI models: 1 year (Preferred)

• English (Required)

• Ability to Commute to Beverly Hills
