Description
Katzman Estate Law is seeking a paralegal or experienced legal assistant to work in the areas of estate litigation, probate, and estate administration. This is an in-person position and the work will be performed at our Windsor office. We will be moving to 3900 Tecumseh Road East in late June or early July.
Pay: $22.50-$27.50 per hour plus basic health and dental benefits. We will also cover annual LSO licensing fees if applicable.
Schedule: Monday to Friday
Responsibilities
There will be a heavy administrative component to this position, including answering phones, scheduling, filing documents with the court, and filing documents internally. The position is unlikely to involve the independent carriage of files or court appearances. There should be opportunities to implement legal skills, including initial drafting of mediation memoranda, drafting probate applications, drafting accounts for passings of accounts, external correspondence, and pleadings. There will be plenty of client contact.
Qualifications
Technological proficiency is a requirement of this position, along with strong writing and customer service skills. While the ideal candidate is a junior or mid-level paralegal, an experienced legal assistant would be well-positioned to succeed in this role.
