Full Time Legal and Office Operations Assistant

​

Hampton Law Firm is preparing to relocate from Farmerville to Ruston and we are seeking a full time Legal and Operations Assistant to help build and maintain a smaller, organized practice. 

​

The position combines legal support, drafting legal documents under attorney supervision, taking ownership of assigned files from assignment through completion. We are also looking for someone who enjoys creative projects supporting our website and client resources. We need someone who can help move client files forward, keep the office running smoothly, and turn ideas into finished guides, website content and client resources. 

​

Legal Document and File Ownership

​

You will be expected to:

​

*Prepare legal drafts using attorney instructions and approved forms, including correspondence, pleadings, estate planning documents, succession documents and real estate transactions.

*Take Ownership of Assigned Files - Know their status, understand the next authorized step and keep them moving without repeated reminders from me. 

*Gather information and documents, identify missing documents or items and follow up with clients or appropriate third parties,

*Maintain organized physical and digital files, accurate tasks records and assigned deadline reminders. 

*Prepare complete attorney review packets containing the draft, supporting documents and clearly identified questions.

*Make revisions and coordinate with approved parties for signing, filing and delivering to the client.

*Track outstanding items through completion and prepare files for attorney approved closure.

*Bring delays, discrepancies and approaching deadlines to my attention promptly.

​

File Ownership means responsibility for managing and completing the assigned work. Legal advice, legal decisions and final document approval remain with me, the attorney. 

​

REQUIRED DRAFTING AND FILE MANAGEMENT SKILLS

​

Applicants must demonstrate strong writing, proofreading, document formatting and organizational skills. You must be able to follow attorney instructions, work accurately from approved forms, recognize missing or inconsistent information and produce drafts suitable for attorney review.
