Job Description
Who you are: administrative expert with a penchant for the planet, who loves litigation, learning, conquering complex disputes, mastering calendars and travel, and thrives knowing every day brings a new puzzle to solve.
Who we are: A nine-person legal team helping North America's leading energy efficiency consulting firm, CLEAResult, save people hundreds of millions on energy bills and removing over 2 million metric tons of CO2 emissions every year.
This position will primarily support our disputes and employment team, and work with our other attorneys and legal support coordinators with a variety of compliance and administrative items, while also assisting with highly sensitive but typical executive assistant duties.
Our ideal candidate has an eye for detail, can work independently, take initiative, is tech savvy, service-oriented, self-aware with high "EQ," and skilled at triaging a constant flow of competing priorities, while ensuring everyone stays on track. We need a true team player willing to take on any task to help our legal team and energy efficiency experts all over North America changing the way people use energy. The role requires flexibility, agility, and the ability to perform legal gymnastics, whether the routine requires tracking incoming matters and invoices, creating presentations, updating the team website, performing notarizations, or accepting service of process for the corporation.
The role requires regular office visits to our downtown Portland office to print documents, perform notarizations, deliver/retrieve mail, etc., and occasionally courier runs throughout the Portland metro area. The Portland-based teammates meet in person at least once monthly. Otherwise, the Paralegal I will typically perform the remaining duties remotely.
