Legal Assistant

DescriptionCernitz Law is a fast-paced, energetic, growing boutique law firm handling personal injury, property insurance law cases and commercial/business disputes, and we are looking for another kick-ass/bad-ass member to join our team. If you’ve noticed, this job listing does not contain a specific position title. We did this intentionally because what we have learned and which now has become our philosophy is that when a team member is good at something or enjoys doing certain things they are happy at work, motivated to do well, and it makes for an amazing collaboration! So we are looking to see what YOU are good at and what YOU enjoy doing. And we will assign certain tasks and roles to you based on what you are good at and what you enjoy doing. Now, in a law firm context it may be and include: - client communications and relations;- good with learning CRMs and other practice management softwares and navigating through these management softwares and systems;- scheduling hearings, depositions, mediations and etc., and being great with following up on a myriad of outstanding items with the opposing counsel’s office;- being efficient and accurate with preparing templated legal documents and correspondences and etc, and having great attention to detail while doing so;- being great with certain pre-suit task flows and processes and being independent with these tasks and procedures;- good with filing in our paperless file system;- obtaining detailed information from clients to assist with preparing discovery responses;- great with repetitive tasks such a diaring important hearing, deposition, mediation, and other attendance dates as well as due dates for important tasks and filings that are due per court orders;- amazing organizational skills related to scheduling emails and following up with tasks and knowing how to prioritize a potential volume of e-mails. When we write “team” we truly mean team! We are looking for someone who has just as much excitement and passion in their job roles as we do in the way we practice law. We really care about what we do and how we do it, so if you don’t share the same value of caring about your work product then we probably would not be a good fit. We are looking for someone who wants to learn; someone with a strong work ethic, who can follow instructions (and eventually give them). We are looking for someone who wants to join a growing team at a growing law firm, and help us grow even more. We are a fast-paced law firm, so if you are not flexible, unable to pivot with a moments notice then this is not the place for you. We are not seeking perfection - that does not exist. We just want people who have pride in their work. Lastly, we love to laugh and joke around with each other….one of the many highlights at working at the firm, so we hope you can laugh along with us when time permits. If we have inspired you to apply then please follow these instructions to apply. TO APPLY: 1.
