About The Position

Natalia Sishodia Law is a New York-based real estate attorney with a focused practice in residential transactions and estate planning. She works closely with her clients as a trusted advisor and has built a lean, remote-first team that runs on trust, clear communication, and initiative. She is growing and busy, and needs someone who can take tasks off her plate so she can stay focused on what only she can do. This role is for someone sharp, self-driven, and ready to actually own their work. We're looking for a remote Legal Assistant to support Natalia's day-to-day practice. You'll handle the operational side — document coordination, client follow-ups, court and agency communication, and keeping the machine running smoothly. No US law degree required. What matters is that you're organized, fast, and don't need hand-holding.

Requirements

Some exposure to real estate — enough to understand the basics and not need a glossary for every task.
Fluent English (written and spoken) — you'll be communicating with clients and external parties daily.
Comfortable making phone calls in English to US institutions (courts, agencies, etc.).
Organized and detail-oriented — documents, deadlines, and follow-ups don't slip through.
Independent thinker who takes ownership and figures things out.

Nice To Haves

Spanish or / and Russian languages.
Familiarity with US real estate or legal terminology.

Responsibilities

Follow up with courts, the IRS, and third parties on case statuses and filings — via phone (US VoIP number provided).
Coordinate real estate closings and transaction-related tasks.
Organize and track documents, deadlines, and case files.
Handle client communication via email and WhatsApp with professionalism.
Support Natalia with scheduling, research, and whatever else comes up.
Keep things moving without being asked twice.
