Looking for a part-time office assistant/legal assistant for a solo patent agent in the Portland area.

Duties would be primarily administrative, and may include:

- preparing correspondence to clients and vendors

- creating and processing client invoices

- maintaining client files

- tracking/maintaining docket

- potentially assisting with preparing correspondence to US Patent and Trademark Office

Candidates must be comfortable with computers, and proficient with Microsoft Word. Familiarity with Quickbooks online and/or docketing software would be helpful.

I am looking for someone who can work approximately 20 hours per week. The position may eventually permit remote work, but initial training will occur in the office, and you should be able to come into the office if/when needed.
