Worker's Compensation Legal Assistant

Looking for a Legal Assistant with Gladiator Skills!

Title: Worker's Compensation Legal Assistant

Hours: Full-time position

Schedule: Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm

Salary: Depends on your level of skill and experience

We’re not looking for a paper-pusher. We’re looking for someone exceptional.

We’re looking for a people-person with administrative skills who likes helping others and who would fit right in with a culture of smart, funny, caring people who care as much about each other as for the work they do. This is an entry-level position for a college grad who’s willing to learn.

You’ll know you’re a good fit if…

• You’re looking for a job that lets you go home every day knowing you’ve helped a lot of people.
• You think the people you spend 8 hours a day with should be people you actually like.
• You want good pay, premium insurance fully paid for by your employer, and other great benefits like a free gym membership.
• You want a boss that listens and helps you learn and grow.
• You want to be recognized and rewarded when you excel.
• You take pride in being a master organizer and in doing every job well.
• You’re interested in the law and in being part of a team that helps victims gain justice.
• You’re looking for a job you’ll never want to leave.
• You’re looking for a role that will allow you to change lives.

We’ll know you’re a good fit if…

• You have at least one year’s experience with clerical/administrative work.
• You have a knack for organization, details, and meeting deadlines.
• You have the judgement required to prioritize tasks and juggle multiple things at once.
• You’re a self-starter who’s likely to take personal initiative to get things done.
• You’re skilled at working independently but recognize when to seek help
• You’re skilled in using Microsoft Office products and eager to learn new and updated software as it comes out.

Although it’s definitely not required, we’ll be super-impressed if you have previous experience working at a law firm or using case management software like Needles and/or Filevine.
