At SJS Law, our expert legal team is a driving force behind our continued success. We are a different kind of law firm for today's changing world. We place emphasis on being approachable, kind, consistent, patient, and professional while giving each case the attention it deserves. An integral part of our services is to work closely with our clients, and their support team (families, accountants, financial advisors, mentors--whoever that might be) so that they can completely understand the impact of their decisions and make the right decisions with respect to their legal needs. We are in search of an experienced Legal Assistant/Paralegal to join this team and help maintain the standard of excellence for which we are known. The Legal Assistant/Paralegal will have an immediate and lasting impact on our operations, guiding us toward positive outcomes with comprehensive communication, document creation, and database maintenance. The candidate should have some law firm experience. The ideal candidate will have demonstrated experience with estate planning, probate, and/or business background. The role requires an organized and detail-oriented individual who can manage multiple tasks without letting attention to detail slow them down. A sincere communicator who can engage with a diverse client portfolio is essential. The candidate must be comfortable talking to clients on the phone and in person, as well as communicating effectively with coworkers and management. Reliability and punctuality are expected, along with flexibility to work collaboratively with the team, which may include working late or arriving early as needed. Compassion is key, as our clients are often elderly, at risk, or grieving. The successful candidate will be a self-starter who is comfortable working independently while also knowing when to ask questions to ensure tasks are completed correctly. Excellent time management skills are crucial, with a preference for candidates who have experience tracking their time or working on a billable hour basis. Technological proficiency using systems like Microsoft Office, Gmail, Zoom, and other cloud-based products is also required.
