Transform Legal Support—From Anywhere
You’re more than a taskmaster—you’re the glue that holds critical legal operations together. From the first intake call to the final signed document, you shape how clients experience the law. If you believe that empathy and organization can drive real results, and you’re ready to elevate remote legal work for clients across Minnesota, you’re exactly who we’re hoping to meet.
The Difference You’ll Make
Clients often feel lost in legal processes. Your precision, warmth, and sense of timing turn legal complexity into clear, manageable steps. Every interaction—whether over email, Zoom, or client portals—builds trust. With you in the virtual office, attorneys focus on strategy while you streamline the details that ensure nothing slips through the cracks. You’ll be the steady presence clients rely on and the trusted resource attorneys count on for insight and order.

- Manage case files using secure, cloud-based systems, so information is always readily available (and accessible to them).
- Handle sensitive communications—whether over Zoom, Slack, or phone—with a balance of discretion and clarity.
- Track deadlines using docketing tools and keep attorneys looped in, even when the pace picks up.
- Interface with clients, answering questions with empathy and translating legal jargon into everyday language.
