About Us

At CFM, our lawyers act on behalf of plaintiffs in product liability, class action, aviation and international human rights cases. We are a small but specialized firm that is facing selective and sustained growth. The litigation cases at CFM are interesting and complex.

Why Work at CFM Lawyers?

The mark of a great workplace is great people. At CFM Lawyers we pride ourselves on working a little differently and turning our focus toward what matters most to us: the people we work for and work with.

We take our work seriously and have built a tight-knit team of people who are collaborative, progressive and open-minded. Our team values mentorship and consensus building as essential tools for the workplace. Organization and collaboration are key as our lawyers manage a high case load with many moving parts and strict deadlines. We also make sure to take time to connect and de-stress with a lightly competitive ping pong game or a game of fetch with one of our many office dogs.

Legal Administrative Assistant Position

Are you looking for a new position with strong teams and variety in your workload? We are looking for a high performing individual with strong analytical skills. You will work closely with our lawyers, as well as working very closely with paralegals and others in the close knit administrative group. You must have a pleasant and calm disposition (especially under pressure) with the keen ability to anticipate and proactively interpret the needs of the firm’s associates.

The successful individual will demonstrate a keen interest in collaborating with the lawyers in the details of these cases. You will become an integral part of the litigation team. Our work occasionally involves a high level of stress while organizing and maintaining multiple cases.

Qualifications

• Legal Administrative Assistant certificate from an accredited institution (or equivalent experience)
• Possess an in-depth knowledge of legal procedures
• Able to take initiative, exercise professional judgment and solve problems
• Able to work independently
• Great attention to detail
• Able to coordinate multiple priorities
• Highly organized
• Excellent communication skills (written and oral)
• Advanced Computer Literacy

Ideally we are looking to hire an intermediate to senior level LAA (4+ years) with litigation experience. But we recognize that expertise cannot be measured solely by time spent mastering your skills so if you are a bright, forward thinking, problem solving, initiative taking junior, please apply for this position. Tell me why you would excel in this role. Salary will be commensurate with experience.
