• Provide administrative and legal support to attorneys and the legal team.
• Prepare, revise, proofread, and organize legal documents, correspondence, and client materials.
• Assist with estate planning and related legal matters from intake through completion.
• Assist with preparation and organization of wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advance directives, and other legal documents.
• Coordinate client meetings, document signings, and follow-up communications.
• Communicate professionally and compassionately with clients regarding appointments, documents, case status, and next steps.

• Ability to work independently while also collaborating effectively with attorneys and the legal team.
• High level of discretion when handling confidential and sensitive information.
• Previous experience working in a law firm is preferred but not required.

The Ideal Candidate

You are someone who takes ownership, follows through, and notices the details others might miss. You can manage a busy workload without losing track of deadlines, communicate clearly with clients, and anticipate what the attorney will need next.

You are professional, dependable, organized, and comfortable working in a client-facing environment. You also understand the importance of handling sensitive legal and personal information with discretion and care.

Experience with estate planning is a plus, but we are willing to train the right candidate who brings strong legal administrative skills, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn.
