Legal Administrative Assistant / Executive Assistant

Pay: $22–$27/hour, depending on experience and overall skill set

Carter Law Group is looking for a Legal Administrative Assistant / Executive Assistant with prior law office experience to join our team.

This is a great opportunity for someone who already has a solid foundation in a legal office and is ready to grow into a dynamic support role within a fast-paced, mission-driven law firm.

This is not an entry-level legal role. Prior law office experience is required.

This position will support the day-to-day administrative needs of the firm while also providing executive assistant support to our CEO, Amy Carter, and COO, Heather Davis.

We’re looking for someone who is organized, proactive, sharp, dependable, kind, and able to thrive in a busy environment with good judgment, flexibility, and a calm presence. Personality fit matters here just as much as skill. We want someone who can keep things moving, stay organized, and be a steady, reliable part of our team.

What You’ll Do

This role will include a mix of law office administrative support and executive assistant responsibilities, including:

• Managing calendars, scheduling, and coordinating meetings
• Helping keep leadership organized and on track
• Assisting with administrative projects and internal follow-up
• Drafting, formatting, and organizing documents and correspondence
• Handling general office support and task management
• Supporting client-facing and team-facing administrative needs
• Helping with workflow follow-through and making sure things don’t slip through the cracks
• Assisting with miscellaneous operations and administrative tasks as needed

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has at least 18 months of prior experience working in a law office
• Has worked in a legal administrative, legal assistant, receptionist, or similar support role
• Is comfortable juggling multiple priorities at once
• Is highly organized, detail-oriented, and dependable
• Communicates well and carries themselves professionally
• Can work with a sense of urgency without becoming overwhelmed
• Is proactive and doesn’t need to be told every single next step
• Is a good personality fit for a close-knit, hardworking team

Nice-to-Haves

These are not required, but definitely a plus:

• Experience supporting attorneys or firm leadership
• Comfort with Canva
• Experience with social media posting or basic content support
• Prior experience in a plaintiff-side law firm
• Comfort learning and using legal software and case management systems

Requirements

• Prior legal experience is required
• Paralegal certificate is not required
• Must be able to work full-time
• This is a hybrid position, with some work-from-home flexibility

Pay

$22–$27 per hour, depending on experience and overall skill set.
