Legal Administrative Assistant

The Midtown Group

Job Description

Job Description

About the Role

I am actively looking for an experienced Temporary Legal Administrative Assistant to join our Fairfax office for a short-term assignment. We need a reliable professional to step in for about 2 to 3 weeks (at 25–30 hours per week) to provide crucial coverage while one of our team members is out on medical leave. Ideally, I am looking for someone who can start this coming Monday, though we have a little flexibility for the perfect fit.

If you have prior experience working in a legal office and are comfortable jumping right in to handle day-to-day administrative support with minimal training, I would love to review your resume!

What You’ll Do

  • Assist with court filings and prepare related legal documentation.
  • Answer and route incoming phone calls with a high level of professionalism.
  • Provide word processing, formatting, and document preparation support for an attorney.
  • Maintain, organize, and file legal documents.
  • Perform general administrative and clerical duties to keep the daily workflow moving smoothly while our regular employee is out.
  • Optional: Assist with entering attorney time into our firm's billing and timekeeping system (if you have prior experience).

What You Bring to the Table

  • Experience: Previous background as a legal assistant, legal administrator, or general law firm experience is strongly preferred.
  • Legal Knowledge: Familiarity with court filings and standard legal office procedures.
  • Tech Skills: Strong Microsoft Word and general document-processing skills are a must.
  • Communication: Excellent phone etiquette and professional communication skills.
  • Work Style: A quick learner who can work independently and easily adapt to our established legal office environment.
  • Bonus: Experience with legal billing/time-entry software is a plus, but absolutely not required. My priority is your legal office experience, document processing skills, and ability to step in quickly!

How to Apply

If you are available immediately and meet the qualifications above, please apply directly with your updated resume. I am reviewing resumes to get someone started as soon as possible and look forward to hearing from you!
