Legal Assistant - Tax Law Firm
We're looking for someone to help with administrative and legal assistant tasks in a small but busy tax litigation firm. We take pride in offering top-notch boutique service to our clients, so the ideal candidate would be professional, friendly, highly organized, and have a passion for attention to detail.
What You'll Do
Your main job: Keep two attorneys organized so we can focus on our cases.
Day-to-day, this means:
- Answer phones and screen calls (including calls from IRS, FTB, and other tax agencies)
- Schedule client meetings, manage calendars, and coordinate deadlines
- Process mail, filing, and document organization
- Client communication - reminders, follow-ups, sharing documents
- Draft cover letters and correspondence
- Prepare documents for mailing and post office runs
- Maintain office supplies and keep the office neat and professional
- Order lunch and coordinate with vendors
- Execute office projects as needed (holiday cards, marketing, etc.)
As you learn our practice, you'll grow into more substantive legal assistant work - supporting case preparation, working with tax agencies, and eventually handling more complex litigation support tasks.
What We're Looking For
Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree (or currently enrolled in bachelor's program)
- At least 1 year professional experience
- Ability to meet short deadlines
You'll thrive here if you:
- Are naturally organized
- Have strong attention to detail and take pride in getting things right
- Excellent written and oral communication skills
- Are comfortable learning new technology and systems (we have great SOPs to help)
- Can figure things out independently when needed (Google, Redditt, YouTube, asking good questions)
- Have a can-do attitude and stay positive under pressure
- Enjoy client service and helping people
- Are proactive - you catch issues before they become problems
- Value follow-through and finishing what you start
Please include a cover letter telling us why you think you'd be a good fit and about a job where you stayed 3+ years (if applicable). We read every cover letter - it helps us get to know you beyond your resume.
