• Travel locally with the Managing Partner to hearings, mediations, depositions, and meetings as needed.
• Assist with organizing legal files, exhibits, presentations, and supporting documentation.
• Handle urgent requests and critical communications quickly, professionally, and discreetly.
• Work closely with the Managing Partner’s Executive Legal Secretary and litigation teams to ensure seamless daily operations.
• Assist with client intake coordination and ongoing client communication.
• Manage shifting priorities while remaining calm, detail-oriented, and highly responsive.
• Help protect and manage the Managing Partner’s time by anticipating needs and proactively solving problems.
• Provide overflow administrative support to additional attorneys and departments when needed.
• Work overtime as necessary, including occasional evenings and limited overnight travel.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• 5+ years of Executive Assistant, Legal Assistant, Legal Secretary, or high-level administrative support experience required.
• Prior experience supporting attorneys, executives, or managing partners strongly preferred.
• Litigation or legal industry experience highly preferred.
• Bachelor’s Degree, Paralegal Certificate, or equivalent professional experience preferred.
• Exceptional organizational, multitasking, analytical, and time-management skills.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills with impeccable professionalism.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.
• Strong technical aptitude with the ability to quickly learn legal software and systems.
• Experience with legal document management systems such as Hummingbird eDocs, PACER, ProDoc eFiling, Westlaw, LexisNexis, or similar platforms is a plus.
• Professional appearance and adherence to firm dress code standards required.

IDEAL CANDIDATE ATTRIBUTES:

• Proactive mindset with the ability to stay two steps ahead at all times.
• Highly adaptable in a fast-paced, high-pressure legal environment.
• Strong sense of discretion, confidentiality, and professionalism.
• Exceptional follow-through and attention to detail.
• Ability to think critically, prioritize effectively, and remain composed under pressure.
• Service-oriented mentality with strong client relationship skills.
• Collaborative team player who enjoys working cross-functionally throughout the firm.
• Comfortable with occasional schedule flexibility and variable overtime needs.
