Operations Assistant

Are you looking for:

• A firm that treats its professionals as essential, not incidental?
• A stable, respected workplace with strong benefits, a year-end bonus opportunity, and leadership that recognizes your work?
• A team-oriented culture where your attention to detail and commitment to quality actually matter?

Let Us Introduce Ourselves

Lippes Mathias is one of the nation's 200 largest law firms, with 400 professionals across 17 offices nationwide, including 230 attorneys. We've built a full-service business law practice with a national footprint and deep roots in each community we serve by investing in people who want to grow alongside the firm.

Joining our team means stepping into a culture that prioritizes accessible leadership, genuine recognition, and a work environment that respects your time and your life. Support for our employees is something we take very seriously. In fact, "supportive" was the top word our employees used to describe our work environment on a recent anonymous survey.

We know this firm doesn't run on legal work alone. Every client experience, every smooth transaction, every successful outcome has people behind it who never bill an hour. The systems that keep us organized, the finances that keep us sound, the marketing that tells our story, and the operations that keep 17 offices running happen because of talented, committed professionals who show up every day and do work that matters. We recognize that, and we've built a culture that reflects it.

If you've been looking for a firm where the quality of the culture is surpassed only by the quality of the work, you may have found it.
