What are the responsibilities and job description for the Experienced Paralegal or Legal Assistant position at Trent Law Firm, PLLC?
Our team of 4 attorneys and 6 legal assistants at Trent Law Firm, PLLC in Cedar Falls is now seeking to hire an experienced paralegal or legal assistant. Trent Law is proud to have been honored with the 2024 Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier's Best of the Best competition as 1st place for "best small company to work for," 2nd place for both "best boss" and "best attorney's office," and 3rd place for "best customer service (finance and professional division)." We take those honors seriously and that's one of the many reasons we are excited to grow our team. While the firm is located in Cedar Falls, Trent Law provides legal services throughout the state and thus accommodates team members located throughout Iowa through remote work as needed or desired.
All applicants must have experience working in at least two of the following areas of law: real estate, business law, family law, probate, or guardianships/conservatorships. A successful applicant must be a self-starter who has excellent writing, customer service, and organizational skills. A successful applicant must have experience in working with Microsoft Office Suite (i.e. Outlook, Word, Excel, etc.) and must have incredible attention to detail.
Benefits include a competitive pay structure (that will meet or exceed the candidate's existing pay structure), merit-based bonuses, a flexible schedule, matching retirement plan, 4 weeks of paid time off (plus 8 paid holidays), employee-paid group health insurance, and employer-paid disability coverage. This position is a 40 hour per week position but as long as certain benchmarks for productivity are met, team members work only 36 hours per week (one afternoon off per week) but still are paid for 40 hours per week. Other flexible and remote options are also possible as we pride ourselves on being a "family first" firm. If a more part-time position is desired, please note that preference in your cover letter.
To apply, please submit your application to our director of operations Emily Sheerer at Emily.Sheerer@TrentLawIowa.com on or before Friday, March 14, 2025. The application must include a) your resume, b) a cover letter detailing why you are interested in this position and c) a statement as to what interests you about our firm based upon your review of our online presence.
