Bankruptcy Legal Assistant

Job Summary
Our bankruptcy and civil litigation practice is hiring a full-time Legal Assistant. This is an in-office position, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. You'll be the person who keeps cases moving: answering phones, confirming appointments, scanning and uploading documents, and preparing the filings that bankruptcy matters depend on. Much of the work runs on deadlines set by the court, so we need someone who works efficiently, is comfortable with the technology we use day to day, catches the small errors before they become problems, and can keep several cases straight at once. Because you'll be in regular contact with clients, attorneys, and creditors, clear and professional communication—on the phone, by email, and texting—matters as much as the administrative work itself.

Responsibilities

• Assist attorneys with organization of bankruptcy documents and related legal paperwork
• Manage legal case files using document management systems such as Practice Panther and Google workspace, ensuring accuracy and confidentiality
• Draft correspondence with precision and clarity
• Communication with clients, attorneys, and creditors through professional phone etiquette and email correspondence
• Perform data entry, proofreading, and scanning documents to maintain organized records in compliance with legal standards

Skills

• Strong organizational and multi-tasking skills with the ability to manage competing deadlines efficiently
• Proficiency in Google Workspace, RingCentral, Adobe, and Microsoft Word/Excel
• Demonstrated writing skills for drafting correspondence with accuracy; proofreading and transcription capabilities are highly valued
• Administrative experience supporting attorneys or legal teams through executive support functions such as connecting wireless printer networks and Bluetooth keyboards and other accessories
• Effective interpersonal skills including interviewing clients; maintaining professionalism in all communications
• Ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously while maintaining attention to detail; excellent phone etiquette is a must

This role is ideal for a motivated, dependable professional eager to expand their knowledge of bankruptcy law while providing exceptional administrative support. We are committed to fostering a collaborative work environment that values your growth and contribution. Join us in making a meaningful impact through dedicated legal assistance!
