Full Job Description
Office Assistant – Legal Assistant
Downtown St. Pete Plaintiff’s PIP law firm currently seeks full time support staff/office assistant. This salaried position calls for daily office hours from 9-5 (with 1 hr for lunch) Monday through Friday.
To apply, please email your resume, cover letter containing a statement of interest, salary requirements, and potential starting date(s).
We seek to hire engaged, detail oriented, conscientious people who will make our team stronger. Accordingly, we insist that the position be generously salaried and also provide top tier health insurance, vision & dental, 401(k) with matching, annual bonusing on top of the provided salary (not deducted from salary).
This is a great opportunity to work in the heart of downtown with successful, young professionals and where no prior legal experience will be expected or demanded. Duties include coordination of Outlook calendars, handling routine correspondence and filings in cases with Courts and opposing counsel via email and telephone, the preparation of routine documents/pleadings, and that the candidate become proficient in the firm’s proprietary software/file management website. Light physical labor (lifting Banker’s boxes containing paper files) may be requested on occasion due to the need to work with and scan in clients’ paper medical files and/or retrieve US Mail/FedEx deliveries. Some local travel may be requested for purposes of delivering files and or funds to clients.
An ideal candidate works well as part of a coordinated team and can be trusted to independently be responsible for producing consistent, detail-oriented results. The candidate must be a team player and be flexible in day-to-day duties and operations.
Written and/or verbal fluency in any foreign language – but especially Spanish – is an additional point in the applicant’s favor, but is not necessary or required.
All candidates submitting the requested materials will be considered; with strongest consideration to those whose submissions demonstrate the skills likely to lead to success in the position. Put another way, we’re happy to be the first law firm you’ve set foot in if you’ve got the skill set we’re after and convince us that you are right for the job.
The firm is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Any and all interested applicants are strongly encouraged to apply and will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic or status.
