  • Coordinate hearings, meetings, and conference calls
  • Communicate professionally with clients, courts, trustees, and creditors
  • Support new client/matter intake, including conflict checks and file opening
  • Assist with case management, including document organization and trial preparation support
  • Process expense reports and other administrative/financial documentation
  • Maintain strict confidentiality and adherence to firm policies

Qualifications

  • Direct law firm experience - litigation experience required, bankruptcy experience preferred but not required (Chapter 7, Chapter 11, and Subchapter V Chapter 11 is a plus)
  • Minimum 5+ years of legal administrative experience in a law firm or professional services environment
  • Confident, proactive, and highly organized with the ability to anticipate needs and stay ahead of deadlines
  • Strong experience with CM/ECF e-filing
  • Excellent document production skills (formatting, proofreading, transcription, and editing)
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with a client-service mindset
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint), document management systems, and time entry software

Apply now for consideration. Compensation commensurate with experience.
