SEEKING LEGAL ASSISTANT
JBJ Legal is seeking to add a legal assistant to our employment and business law practice. JBJ Legal is an energetic, growing, boutique firm in downtown Indianapolis representing small and medium sized companies and individuals with corporate transactions, business and contract disputes, and employment matters. Our clients are diverse and fascinating, including independent restauranteurs, healthcare providers, tech startups, professional athletes, multi-generational family businesses, angel investors, distilleries, and executives around the country.
This role involves supporting both the transactional and litigation practice groups, and will also provide back up for office manager and receptionist duties occasionally. Depending on a candidate’s experience and interest, duties may include:
• Draft, edit, and proofread legal documents, including sale and acquisition agreements, leases, corporate contracts, corporate compliance filings, motions, written discovery and pleadings
• Assist with client relations, including onboarding, opening matters, billing, and scheduling
• Maintain calendars, dockets, and manage deadlines for both transactional and litigation tasks
• Assist with Corporate Transparency Act filings
• Manage preparation, assembly and compilation of documents for business and real estate closings and private securities offerings
• Prepare and facilitate discovery, motions, and electronic filing in state and federal court using Bluebook legal citation format, in compliance with court rules
This position requires:
• At least three years of relevant experience in a corporate transactional or civil litigation practice; or, similar experience with an in-house legal or compliance department
• Proficiency in the use of Microsoft Office products; familiarity with Smokeball or similar document and practice management systems a plus
• A willingness to learn new things, take ownership of responsibilities, and work collaboratively on a wide variety of cases, types of clients, legal issues, and personalities
JBJ Legal is constantly evolving and we are looking for the right person to help shape the dynamic future of our firm. Maybe you are interested in marketing and can help expand our digital footprint. Or perhaps you are great at creating systems – we’d love to use those skills to enhance our forms library. If you are particularly tech savvy, let’s explore ways to leverage the legal software and AI that is changing the face of the practice of law. There are endless opportunities to develop and grow with us.
We offer competitive compensation and benefits, including a 401(k) with employer matching, paid covered parking, and medical, vision and dental insurance (as well as ping pong, a wide array of energy drinks, and an amusing text group). Our employees go the extra mile for us and we work hard to recognize the value of our team.
JBJ Legal is not a typical law firm and we are not looking for a typical employee. Our office is casual, forward thinking, and tight-knit. We hope to hire an individual that would thrive in a fun, fast-paced, and entrepreneurial environment, that takes his or her job seriously, without taking him or herself too seriously.
If you would fit into our professional yet lighthearted atmosphere, please submit a resume and cover letter to Kellie Bowling at [email protected].
