About The Position

We are looking for an Administrative Legal Assistant to serve as the right hand to a Partner in our Workers' Compensation practice. This is not a background role. You'll be at the center of a high-volume practice — managing deadlines, coordinating complex schedules, producing critical legal documents, and serving as a key liaison between internal teams and external counsel. The position is structured as approximately 50% billable legal work and 50% administrative support, meaning your days are varied, substantive, and directly tied to client outcomes.

Requirements

Prior experience as a legal assistant, paralegal, or comparable legal support role
Demonstrated proficiency managing complex attorney calendars and deadline-driven workflows
Strong command of legal document drafting, formatting, and Florida filing procedures
Excellent written and verbal communication skills for coordinating with counsel, clients, and vendors
Highly organized with the ability to independently manage competing priorities in a fully remote environment
Familiarity with Florida court procedures, e-filing systems, and legal practice management software
Discretion and professionalism when handling sensitive and confidential matters
Ability to perform billable legal support tasks with accuracy and accountability
Reliable home office setup with a strong, stable internet connection
