Office Assistant

We work hard for our clients. We need someone who owns the office.

We're a boutique appeals firm, which means the stakes in our work are high and the margin for error is small. Our attorneys argue cases before appellate courts on behalf of clients who are counting on us to get it right. That standard doesn't stop at the attorneys — it runs through everything we do.

We're looking for an Assistant who takes genuine ownership of the office. Not someone who waits to be asked. Someone who notices what needs doing and does it — who finds real satisfaction in a system that works, a shelf that's stocked, and a binder that's perfect — because they understand that a well-run office makes better legal work possible.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

- The day-to-day operations of the office — mail, supplies, errands, organization

- Assembling oral argument binders so attorneys walk into court fully prepared

- Scheduling client strategy sessions and welcoming new clients to the firm

- Backup phone coverage for our intake specialist — being the calm, professional voice clients hear

WHAT WE OFFER

- Meaningful work: your role directly supports clients navigating high-stakes legal appeals

- Consistent schedule with flexibility — we value results and trust our team

- Supportive team: small, close-knit group where your contributions are seen and valued

- Real ownership: we'll trust you to run things — and give you the autonomy to do it well

We're hiring with full-time in mind, but we're open to conversations about flexible or part-time arrangements for the right person. If the role appeals to you but your situation is a little different, apply and let's talk.

YOU'LL BE A GREAT FIT IF

- You have 1+ years of admin, office, or customer service experience

- You genuinely love systems and organization — tidying up a process or a supply closet gives you the same satisfaction as finishing a task

- You hold yourself to a high standard — details matter to you personally, not just professionally

- You communicate with warmth and professionalism, especially when clients are stressed

- You're comfortable running local errands and handling the unexpected without losing your composure

- You understand that confidentiality isn't just a policy — it's a responsibility
