We are looking for a legal assistant / receptionist to join the Bow River Law team in downtown Calgary, AB!
We are a civil litigation firm, specializing in employment law and human rights. This is a great place to work with a fairly small team. The successful candidate would be joining a team of 2 other legal assistants.
The role is intended to be split about 50/50 between reception duties and legal assistant duties. The role is perfect for a relatively junior legal assistant looking to get more experience and get a foot in the door in a great work atmosphere.
The job qualifications are:
- legal assistant diploma
- 1+ years of experience as a legal assistant in a litigation atmosphere in Alberta is an asset, but there will be on the job training
- experience in employment law or human rights is an asset, but not a minimum qualification
The job duties are:
- answering phones
- handling client intake duties, including asking clients questions and gathering documentation
- drafting and sending correspondence for approval by lawyers
- some pleadings drafting, such as Affidavits of Records
- diarizing files
- opening and closing files
- creating invoices, cheques, etc. and sending them out
- other general legal assistant and administrative duties
