Legal Assistant

About the job Legal Assistant About Our Client Our client is a premier boutique law firm in Atlanta made up of highly credentialed, top-ranked litigation and corporate attorneys. They combine the sophisticated practice and elite standards of BigLaw with the personalized attention, agility, and close-knit culture of a boutique firm. Following a recent 35% growth through a strategic merger, the firm is expanding its operational team with dedicated support roles. Why You Should Join True 1:1 Ownership: You won't be pooled or shared across multiple attorneys. You will serve as the primary right-hand support to one senior litigation partner-owning her calendar, communications, and case materials. Small Firm, Big Impact: Work in a highly collaborative single-office environment where partners know your name and your contributions directly drive high-stakes trial outcomes. Industry-Leading Benefits Day One: $1,088/month health allowance starting on your first day. 20 days of PTO immediately (no 90-day waiting period). Firm-provided lunch every Monday and Friday. No billable hours or strict clock-in/clock-out pressure. Empathetic Leadership & Exceptional Retention: Enjoy working with partners who value life balance and handle personal needs with genuine flexibility. (As proof: key team members left 10-year careers at major international firms to join and stay here long-term). Hybrid Flexibility: Enjoy a 4-day in-office / 1-day WFH schedule once up to speed, with potential room to negotiate additional remote days for top performers. What You'll Do Calendar Mastery: Own and manage the senior partner's complex, fast-moving schedule-coordinating depositions, hearings, client meetings, and court deadlines with absolute precision. Legal Document Preparation: Type, format, proofread, and file legal documents with meticulous accuracy-ensuring zero grammatical or formatting errors. Communications & Gatekeeping: Serve as the professional, warm primary point of contact for clients, witnesses, and court personnel via phone, email, and fax. Trial & Hearing Prep: Assemble digital and physical binders/notebooks for court hearings and trial proceedings. Dictation & Case Files: Transcribe attorney dictation accurately and maintain highly organized electronic and physical case files. Proactive Support: Anticipate the partner's daily needs, flagging issues early and staying one step ahead without prompting. Key Requirements Experience: 2+ years of stable, high-level administrative experience. Litigation support or law firm background preferred, but strong executive assistants from corporate environments who have supported demanding executives are highly encouraged to apply! Technical & Core Skills: Exceptional writing, grammar, and proofreading skills; proficiency with document formatting and dictation/transcription. Calendar Management: Proven track record of managing high-volume, multi-time-zone, or shifting calendars seamlessly. Work Ethic & Trait Profile: High level of discretion, proactive problem-solving mindset, and unwavering attention to detail. Success Matcher Recruitment
