Legal Assistant

A fast growing specialty manufacturer and operator based in the Upstate SC area is seeking a Legal Assistant to support its founding Senior Corporate Counsel. This is a hands‑on, paralegal level role for someone who wants meaningful ownership of corporate legal work without requiring a paralegal license or salary expectations. The right fit is organized, detail driven, and comfortable supporting a single in‑house attorney across a wide range of corporate matters rather than one narrow lane. The company is young and growing quickly, and the team values someone who is hands‑on and willing to flex across many areas as the role evolves. WHAT YOU WILL DO Support corporate compliance across multiple active entities under the company structure. Draft, review, and manage a variety of commercial contracts and vendor agreements. Assist with entity governance, including formation, maintenance, and recordkeeping. Support transactional matters including commercial real estate, tax credit transactions, and equity compensation documentation. Take contract and administrative work off the desk of finance and operations teams as needed. Help organize and maintain legal files, templates, and recurring compliance deadlines. Act as a reliable right hand to Senior Corporate Counsel on day to day legal administration. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR 5+ years of experience in a legal assistant, paralegal support, or similar corporate legal capacity. Strong contract drafting, review, and organizational skills. Comfortable working independently and managing a high volume of detail oriented work. Prior exposure to corporate governance, commercial real estate, or transactional support is a plus. Ability to work on site in the Upstate SC area with hybrid flexibility considered after 90 days based on performance, business needs, and manager approval. #J-18808-Ljbffr
