Description

　　Robert Half Legal is partnering with an Am Law firm in Costa Mesa, seeking a Legal Administrative Assistant (Legal Secretary).

　　The last candidate I placed here raved about their onboarding, training, and mentorship!

　　This Legal Administrative Assistant will support 4 attorneys, including one senior partner (who founded the OC office!). Because of the complexity and high-level of work these attorneys handle, the Legal Administrative Assistant must have a meticulous eye for detail (pleadings must be formatted to the 9s, for example). This practice group is focused on high net worth business/commercial litigation matters. Experience in this practice area is a huge plus!

　　Responsibilities of Role:

　　o o eFilings – up to 10 per week (10% in federal court, 90% state). Firm uses OneLegal. Filing & serving documents is an important part of the job. Please do not apply without fluency in this!

　　o Formatting – all types of legal documents. The attorney are perfectionists; this skillset is important (knowing which font, the precise spacing, local judges’ rules, etc.).

　　o Calendaring – for 4 attorneys. The attorneys then want their Outlook calendars updated with litigation deadlines.

　　o Billing – send out cover letters with each bill to client, and enter partner's time

　　Experience in NetDocs (document management) and Adobe (bate stamping/labeling, signatures, page numbers) is very helpful.

　　The more years of experience, the better. Pay is contingent upon this, as well as fluency in the responsibilities above, caliber of past firms worked, and ability to commute into the office daily.

　　This firm stands out because servant leadership, respect, and teamwork truly do shine through in the staff and attorneys. The firm prioritizes pro bono work, has zero debt, and many secretaries have been with their attorneys for 20+ years!

　　Requirements

　　Solid understanding of CA civil codes & procedures (knowing how to file, serve, & format documents)

　　Ability to commute on-site 4-5 days/week

　　Experience working for a managing partner before

　　To apply to this exciting position, email your resume directly to Melanie.Kent[at]roberthalf[dotcom] with "OC Legal Administrative Assistant" as the subject line. This job can start immediately!
