• Monitor and order office supplies and keep shared office areas organized.

• Work with case managers, paralegals, and attorneys on administrative tasks and case support.

• Handle confidential client information and financial documents with care.

• Help with other day-to-day office needs as they come up.

• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.

• Professional, friendly communication with clients, visitors, and coworkers.

• Comfortable using Microsoft Outlook, Word, scanners, printers, and electronic filing systems.

• Ability to follow procedures, manage competing tasks, and meet deadlines.

• Willingness to ask questions, learn new software, and take ownership of your work.

• Previous office or administrative experience preferred. Law firm experience is a plus.

• Spanish-speaking skills are a plus, but not required.
