Legal Administrative Assistant – Finance | Dallas, TX (Uptown)

$75,000–$95,000 + Overtime

About the Firm

Our client is one of the fastest-growing Am Law 100 firms in the country, with more than 700 lawyers across 19 global offices and deep strengths in finance, private equity, restructuring, and corporate transactions.

It is consistently recognized for a collegial, team-first culture that invests in the development of its professional staff.

About the Role

You will provide high-level administrative support to attorneys in one of the firm's flagship finance practice groups, including several of its leading partners. The work centers on polished document production — drafting, revising, proofreading, and redlining client-related materials before they leave the attorneys' desks — alongside billing, calendars, new matter intake, and closing binders. This is a non-exempt role with genuine overtime earning potential, and a retiring team member will be available to support your onboarding.
