If you answered yes to the above, you may be the Paralegal we need to join our team!
Our busy legal firm is looking for an efficient, organized paralegal to help our attorneys and paralegals assist clients and ensure we’re operating efficiently.
We are a growing business with robust marketing plans and we are looking for an organized person who likes to work hard and have fun creating more opportunities to help clients. We are looking to immediately hire and onboard the right Paralegal to join our incredible team of A Team members.
We are vested in finding the right fit for our Team. Please read this ad and if it resonates with you, that is a good indication that you may be our perfect candidate. If you don’t love everything in this ad, this is not the job for you.
Are you just looking for a J.O.B.? Looking for a place where you can mindlessly shuffle paperwork and get a paycheck? If so, this isn’t the place for you.
We believe each member of the team holds themselves and their teammates accountable, so that dependability is always there and each person respects what others on the team do. We also find that communication and camaraderie in a fast-paced business that has fun and celebrates growth and successes, makes it a place worth working. This is why Teamwork and Integrity are high on our core values.
We believe it is important to create an atmosphere where each team member can be productive and where they can hone their skills, so they are always learning, growing, and improving.
We know there are always better ways, and we encourage our team to use creativity and their passion to help drive new ideas and streamlined procedures to always provide top-quality results. That is why Excellence and Innovation are part of our core values.
So, while we are a fun, vibrant team, we also believe in Systems and Key Performance Indicators, so that we know we are always working in a streamlined fashion and driving results.
We are vested in finding the best of the best who love what they do and want to be on this mission with us! We expect greatness and are willing to help you get there, but we will also be just as honest in our quarterly reviews if you are not reaching the expectations that have been set. We want our team to know if they are getting an A, or if they are falling short and how they can get up to the A status.
If you don’t thrive on honing your skills and learning new ways, then this likely is not the right job for you. From our Receptionist to our CEO, we want every person on the team to thrive and grow every month.
