Hybrid position

Our law firm is growing and we are looking to hire a paralegal with Family Law experience. We offer a relaxed, family friendly office environment.

About Us & The Job:

Are you a Paralegal looking for a full-time opportunity? Our growing law firm is seeking to welcome a Family Law Paralegal into our firm. We are known for helping our clients come through a difficult and emotional process and into a new beginning for themselves and their families, so we would like a candidate who can have extraordinary compassion and care for every client.

Why join our firm? Like many opportunities out there, our pay and benefits are competitive. Unlike most firms, we provide incredible career path opportunities that recognize a paralegal's long-term professional goals and unique gifts. If you're looking for an employer invested in your own professional growth, we're a great fit.

Our paralegals will be primarily responsible for important work in Family Law:

· You should know how to draft all documents. We use Clio and we have our own templates. From this, you should be able to choose the right one and build the first draft.

· Family law work can be messy, and there is often no right or best answer. Even gathering the information can be difficult. You will need to be creative, organized and efficient to do your job well.

· We all make mistakes, and we allow for that, but a penchant for accuracy and attention to detail are required to avoid mistakes that can cost our clients dearly.

We look forward to reviewing your application.

You will be working on many cases concurrently, over long periods of time. We expect you to keep track of key dates, keep the right people informed, and prioritize your time so that we never miss a deadline.

• You should treat a case at 4:30 pm on Friday with the same care and compassion as one on Monday morning at 9 am.
• Our clients are dealing with massive stress and anxiety. You should be empathetic and help put them at ease.

· We are looking for someone who can hit the ground running. We are not looking to train a paralegal.

• We are a high-tech office. But don’t let this scare you. Technology in the office facilitates our work.
• We like all team members to display a growth mindset, always willing to learnand grow.

If you want to take the next step toward joining our law firm, we'd love to hear from you!

For the cover letter you prepare for us, we would have two specific requests:

· Please limit it to no more than TWO paragraphs. In the first paragraph, explain what you believe are the three most important qualities needed in someone who works with Family Law clients and why you believe they are the most important qualities.
