About the position

A growing downtown law firm, Greater Pacific Law Office, LLLC, is seeking a paralegal to lead their support team. This position is ideal for experienced candidates who possess established yet developing legal skills. The firm welcomes applications from ambitious legal assistants who are eager to apply their strong work ethic, can-do attitude, and high work standards in a paralegal role. Candidates must demonstrate legal skills acquired through academic study or relevant work experience, which should be detailed in their resume and cover letter. The ideal candidate will be highly organized, detail-oriented, and a strong team player. Proficiency in Microsoft Office programs and good computer skills are essential. Strong clerical skills, including typing, spelling, and grammar, are also required, along with the ability to multitask and adhere to procedures. A passion for the practice of law and enthusiasm for the work is crucial. The duties of the paralegal will include a blend of legal support work and general office tasks. Legal support responsibilities may involve drafting legal correspondence and documents, organizing discovery responses and requests, conducting legal research, maintaining case files, tracking legal deadlines, filing documents with the United States District and State of Hawaii Courts, reviewing documents for court-required information, and providing support to attorneys. It is anticipated that the candidate may require some supervision or assistance for legal support work. General office work will include managing and guiding the support team in filing, copying, mailing, scanning, reviewing documents for typographical errors, and performing miscellaneous office tasks as necessary. The firm is open to hiring full-time or semi-full-time candidates but may also consider flexible or part-time arrangements for the right individual. Compensation will depend on experience and skill level, with the potential for increases as skills develop. Candidates must currently reside in Hawaii and be able to commute to downtown Honolulu.
