Office Asst or Paralegal / Remote

Our business law firm is seeking an assistant for its lead attorney; we are open to an office manager or paralegal as well (we are involved in business and employment litigation). The position, for now, is for 4 hours a day, Mon-Thur. We would prefer someone from 10-2 daily. The hours may increase and it may even become full-time should that interest you. The previous person was working with the attorney, but in-person, took a vacation, contracted Covid, and decided to return to school. We are starting this one as a remote position but have beautiful offices in UTC should that transition occur this year, and interest you; you will have access to a full gym with showers at that time.

We are seeking someone who has a strong work ethic, a good phone disposition, an eye for detail, and a good memory. We are looking for someone who does not need to be micro-managed, and just gets the job done, and in a reasonable amount of time.

Some of the duties include:

-Answering our phones and screening the calls accordingly

-Placing calls to resolve issues such as items ordered came in wrong or managing someone doing something for us

-Preparing Excel sheets to organize different types of data (nothing complex)

-Typing simple forms

-Writing emails to clients, service providers, and others

-Screening some of our email accounts that receive too much spam

-Conducting Internet research for various issues

-Conducting Internet research for tech issues (ie we just added Office 365 mail and our HP printers won't scan to email despite all the settings being correct).

Please send us a cover letter (a simple email will do), confirming your availability, and what you are looking for in the future in terms of hours, etc. Tell us what you want to be paid per hour or provide a range (if this is not included we will delete the email). Include a resume with your work history and salary history.

In terms of benefits, part-time employees do receive bonuses for certain programs we set up (keeps the work interesting and adds to your paycheck). As a part-time employee, your time is counted towards our holiday time off when/if you become full-time. For example, at 5 years, we offer 5 weeks of paid vacation annually, plus all statutory holidays, and your birthday. If you worked one year part-time, we treat you as if you worked full-time in order to qualify for paid vacations (which you even receive as a part-timer). We offer get-togethers with our team, renting motorboats, driving out of town, etc to which you are invited (as Covid allows of course).

Our team is very intelligent but yet friendly and enjoyable to work with, with great people skills. We do get into busy phases so if you want more hours the opportunities will arrive. Last but not least, not all of your work will involve legal-related items. We run a fashion company (yes) to raise money for veterinary bills for abused dogs, so if you are an animal lover, it's a plus. If you are ambitious and a can-do person, plus plus.
