Family Law Paralegal - Support Team Lead

Description

Our San Diego Divorce and Family Law firm has a full-time opportunity for a Family Law Paralegal to lead our legal support team (minimum 7 years' recent experience in family law ) who has integrity, is a team player, and has strong administrative skills. If you are looking for a fast-paced, positive team environment that provides professional growth opportunities, then look no further.

The Lead Paralegal is responsible for mentoring and monitoring the Firm's "legal support staff" and "legal pipeline" to ensure cases make progress to deadlines and milestones, work on cases is fully funded, and that clients/matters do not languish or fall through the cracks. If you are bilingual and can speak English and Spanish, then you already have an advantage. Position pays $37-$41 per hour ($79,960 - $85,280 per year) for qualified candidates.

This position is NOT a work-from-home position. We are located in Mission Valley, and our hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Do not apply if you do not have a Paralegal Certificate, at least 7 years of recent California Family Law paralegal experience, and management/project lead experience. All of this experience must be detailed in your resume. Please do not call our office.

While we are focused on rapid growth, we are still small enough to care about every team member and client. We need someone who has a proven track record of being able to manage a caseload and corresponding deadlines, and be able to prioritize tasks.

We expect to train you on how we operate within the firm, but you should have the substantive knowledge and experience needed to hit the ground running as a superstar Family Law Paralegal and be ready to lead our growing legal support team. Since we are a small firm, the most important quality you can possess is a great attitude, eagerness to learn, and a willingness to roll up your sleeves and help wherever it's needed.
