We are tight knit group and we love what we do. We are looking for someone with significant hands-on law firm experience to join our team and bring us to the next professional level.

We take a hospitality approach to our practice of law as we treat our clients and employees with great care and warmth. It is our mission to foster an open, inviting, and diverse firm atmosphere. We have been in business for 16 years and we have grown steadily since this firm was initially begun as a solo practice.

ABOUT THE POSITION

The Legal Administrator will work closely with the partners on firmwide strategy including setting financial goals, developing and analyzing financial and customer relations systems, and creating accurate financial reporting. The Legal Administrator will also handle all HR, PTO, scheduling, and employee benefit matters, acting as the primary liaison between the Firm and its employees, on the one hand, and its professional employer organization and benefit providers on the other.

The job will be an in-office position once Covid is under control but will be a remote position until such time as the Firm deems it safe to return to an office setting. Candidates must live within reasonable commuting distance of New York City, either in New York City or in the commutable Tri-State Area.

• Workflow and Business Systems - Create and improve critical business systems to ensure profitable operations. Ensure all systems are documented (policies, procedures, templates) and organized. Create an internal audit system to trigger alerts when systems are not working optimally, investigate the reason for the failures, and propose solutions (whether related to personnel, technology, workflow, etc.).
• Vendor Management - Coordinate with and supervise bookkeeping and escrow accounting. Liaise with IT professionals, and other Firm vendors and professional service providers to facilitate the smooth operation of the back-end operations of the Firm.
• Facilities Management - Refine and maintain the Firm’s technology infrastructure to minimize waste and maximize internal efficiencies within the Firm.
