Summary

We are seeking a dependable and proactive Legal Assistant to provide administrative and operational support to a boutique law practice. This is a remote position suited to someone who enjoys keeping legal work organized, deadlines under control, and matters moving forward efficiently. The role begins at 8 to 10 hours per week, with opportunities for additional hours as the practice grows. Compensation ranges from $5 to $6 per hour, depending on experience, skill level, and overall fit. Your responsibilities will include supporting day to day legal operations, organizing digital case files, preparing and proofreading legal documents, tracking deadlines, managing attorney calendars, coordinating client communications, scheduling meetings, monitoring outstanding tasks, maintaining matter records, following up on required information, and ensuring files remain accurate and up to date. You may also assist with legal research, document formatting, e-filing support where applicable, and coordinating with clients, attorneys, or third parties to keep matters progressing smoothly. This position is focused on legal administrative support. It is not an attorney role and does not involve providing legal advice or representing clients. Because many matters involve confidential and sensitive information, professionalism, discretion, sound judgment, and excellent written English are essential.
