Legal Assistant

NOTE: THIS IS FOR THE PORTLAND, OR OPERATIONS OFFICE POSITION. IT IS NOT REMOTE. WE HAVE TWO POSITIONS OPEN - ONE IS REMOTE AND ONE IS ONSITE IN OUR PORTLAND, OR OPERATIONS OFFICE.

Brassel Law is a dynamic entertainment law firm located in the heart of Music City—Nashville, Tennessee. We’re looking for a tech-savvy, detail-oriented, and experienced Legal Assistant to add to our creative and client-centered team to work in our Portland, Oregon operations office. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment where your support makes a tangible difference in the artistic community, we want to hear from you!

Key Responsibilities:

• Document Management: Assist with the creation, editing, and formatting of legal documents and contracts. Expertise in Microsoft 365 and Adobe Acrobat is crucial.
• Calendar Management: Keep attorney schedules in perfect harmony, coordinating appointments, meetings, court dates, and critical deadlines.
• Client Communication: Be the harmonious liaison that maintains professional communication channels with our esteemed clients.
• File Management: Command the stage with impeccable electronic file organization ensuring all documents are accessible and confidentiality is maintained.
• Data Entry: Ensure our case management system reflects the most up-to-date information with precision.
• Administrative Support: Conduct the orchestra of daily office tasks, including answering phone calls, managing emails, and coordinating various office services.
• Light Social Media Support: Help schedule social media posts and respond to potential client inquiries.

• Proficiency in both transactional and litigation matters
• Basic knowledge of social media
• Experience with trademark docketing and the USPTO's filing system
• Stellar grammar skills and great phone etiquette
• Great editing and proofreading skills. Redlining, proofreading, and formatting are big parts of the job.
• A love for music (feel free to mention your favorite song in your cover letter) and a passion for working within a creative industry

Culture at Brassel Law:

Brassel Law is not your typical law firm. We leverage technology to meet our clients where they are and provide transparent, straightforward advice and top-notch service. You'll be joining a fun-loving yet dedicated team, passionate about the impact we have on the entertainment and influencer industries.

What We Offer:

• Competitive hourly rate
• An empowering work environment
• Opportunities to grow and learn in the unique niche of entertainment law
• Flexible part-time work arrangement that allows for flexibly balancing your personal and work life

To tune into this opportunity, please submit your resume and cover letter. Your cover letter should include your pay requirements.

A Few Notes:

• This is not an internship. Law students should not apply. We have a formal internship program, and information is made available as positions open.
• This position leans more "Legal Assistant" than "paralegal." While the job includes some substantive work, the bulk of the responsibilities involve communications, organization, and revisions/editing.
• This position is NOT remote. After a few months, it could potentially turn into a hybrid position, but we're looking for someone who can initially come into the office, learn the systems and culture, and become a part of the team.
• This could turn into a full-time position after a few months for the right candidate.
• Pay is commensurate with experience. The listed pay rate is a starting point.

We look forward to discovering how your talents can amplify our team!
