Overview:
We are seeking a highly organized and detail-oriented Legal Assistant to join our team. As a Legal Assistant, you will provide essential support to our legal team and ensure the smooth operation of our legal processes. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a passion for law and strong administrative skills.

Biggest thing for us is culture fit. Here's a link to the Join Our Team page on our website that shares what's unique about us. Check it out.

Lawvex is a five-attorney, tech-forward law firm with offices in the cities of Clovis, Madera, and Solvang in sunny central California. We are a business, real estate, and trust and estates firm that is on track for aggressive growth and we need a rockstar Legal Assistant to join our amazing team and work directly with attorneys and staff to help our clients with their legal needs.

Since 2009, Lawvex has been on a mission to take the frustration out of law for our clients, staff and attorneys. Our vision is to become a regional firm with offices throughout central California. We want to be known for our early (2009) adoption of cloud-based technology and for using that to create a new standard in quality of life for staff and attorneys and an amazing legal experience for clients.

New Standard in Quality of life means: you work in office with our team working hybrid or remotely; we provide you with a cutting edge suite of software to do your job and communicate internally and externally; we provide you with competitive compensation, benefits and opportunity for bonus compensation for those who can demonstrate their profitability; we provide clear key performance indicators and regular performance reviews so you know if you’re winning and why; and we provide team connection opportunities through weekly video meetings, and periodic live events that you are welcome to attend.

Amazing Legal Experience means: we help business owners and families plan for, transfer and inherit their business and real estate so that they have peace of mind; we build amazing relationships with our clients by living out our values: Speed, Efficiency, Value, Education, Compassion, and Transparency; and we solicit and receive outstanding feedback and reviews from our clients for doing a great job.

We love to help people learn and grow. But we don’t have the time for that right now. We need a legal assistant who can hit the ground running but also embrace our values. The ideal candidate will be able to take initiative on work that needs to be done and complete tasks with minimal hand holding.

We have multiple members on our team who are not assigned to a particular attorney but instead work within one or two niche practice areas such as probate, estate planning, litigation, trust administration, business or evictions. This facilitates deep expertise which results in systems and processes to make work easier, more efficient and reduce errors.

• Phone and in person reception at our office in Madera.
• Schedules client meetings / calls on existing cases.
• Schedules our Client Coordinator for new cases.

• Prepares and sends hard copy correspondence, certified mail, overnight mail.
• Must be well spoken, professional image, sales experience a plus, sales skills required.
• Client service, sales and phone skills are more important than the legal assistant skills of scanning and uploading documents.

• You are an awesome juggler of tasks and can change gears quickly.
• You smile when you answer the phone.
• You are polite, well spoken, and calm.
