Legal and Compliance Paralegal

Legal Assistant

Proviso is a business law firm helping clients navigate transformative transactions and everyday legal compliance. We combine experienced counsel, practical advice, and tech-driven execution to deliver a better legal experience for our clients.

We are building a modern law firm pairing talented professionals with technology-driven process. We are looking for a Legal Assistant who wants to play a meaningful role in our work.

The Legal Assistant will work directly with our attorneys and clients across corporate, mergers & acquisitions (M&A), commercial real estate, and other transactional matters. While experience in these fields is greatly valued, it is not required to be considered for this role.

This is not an internal administrative position. You will help move client matters forward: communicating with clients, coordinating transaction processes, preparing and organizing documents, managing information and deadlines, and supporting attorneys from the beginning of a matter through closing.

In addition, there may be limited time required for internal administrative support (for example, supporting client intake or providing coverage for other administrative staff during absences).

The position is part-time (approximately 20 hours/week initially) and offers a hybrid working environment. Over time, we expect this role to take on greater responsibility, and there may be opportunity to transition to a full-time role in the future.
