Cannabis Legal Assistant For Cannabis Focused Law Firm Jobs

A busy and fast-growing law office on Oakland's waterfront is looking for a Legal Assistant.

Our practice focuses on representing businesses in California's booming legal cannabis industry in licensing, regulatory compliance, business transactions, litigations, and other matters. Interest in California's cannabis industry is important to success in this position. However, formal experience in the industry is not required.

The core responsibilities of the position are as follows:

• Assist clients, under the supervision of the firm’s attorneys, in applying for and maintaining local and state licenses to operate commercial cannabis businesses including cultivation, distribution, manufacturing, and retail. This involves assisting clients in gathering and preparing documents, organizing application materials, and assisting clients in submitting and managing applications in various online portals.

• Supporting the firm’s attorneys in litigation and transactional matters, including assisting in preparing court filings, discovery, corporate transactions, and trademark filings, largely in the cannabis and hemp-derived CBD industries.

• Assisting the firm’s attorneys in advising clients on regulatory matters in the cannabis and hemp-derived CBD industries.

A candidate for this position must:

• Have earned a bachelor’s degree or equivalent

• Have excellent computer skills, including proficiency with Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat, and the Google G Suite products;

• Be comfortable working in a professional office setting (we are pretty laid back for a law firm, but we are still a law firm);

• Desire to work with businesses in the cannabis industry and learn about their businesses and the regulations they must follow;

• Thrive in a fast-paced environment by staying organized, multi-tasking, and staying cool under pressure;

• Show kindness, warmth and a sense of humor.

To be an ideal candidate for this position, you should:

• Be familiar with the modern cannabis industry;

• Have experience in law office as paralegal, legal assistant, or similar role involving civil litigation, transactional, and/or intellectual property matters; and

• Have experience with drawing or design software such as Illustrator.

We strive to be a fun place to work while providing outstanding service for our incredible clients.

This full-time position offers benefits including health, dental, vision, 401K, and paid time off.

If you would like to be considered, please submit a resume and cover letter explaining why you are interested in this position specifically. If you do not submit a cover letter, we will not review your application.
