This role partners with attorneys, paralegals, legal operations, and the business to triage legal requests, maintain accurate records, and keep matter workflows moving (including matter intake and e‑billing). You’ll join a collegial, supportive team that values professionalism, clear communication, and helping one another deliver excellent internal client service. As needed, the role also supports the Corporate Secretary team by maintaining entity and governance documentation and coordinating routine filings. Our Work Environment Our legal team works collaboratively, values clear communication, and balances professionalism with approachability.

This position requires strong organizational skills, attention to detail, responsiveness, and the ability to handle sensitive information with care. In practice, success means legal and outside counsel requests are triaged efficiently; matter records, invoices, and documentation remain accurate and audit‑ready; deadlines are tracked reliably; and workflows and system practices continue to improve in ways that meaningfully support the legal team.
