Remote Legal Assistant (Dallas)

The Details Matter—And So Do You

You know that moment when a client finally exhales because someone’s got their back? That’s the difference you make here. You’re not just a cog in a legal machine—you’re the voice of reason, the organizer-in-chief, and the calm in the legal storm. If you’ve ever solved a last-minute deadline with a well-timed email or walked a nervous client through what comes next, you already get it.

Why Your Work Isn’t Just Paperwork

Forget checklists for a second. When you review a document, it’s more than spellcheck—you catch the odd clause, you fix the formatting, you spot the missing exhibit. That eye for detail? It changes the outcome for everyone involved. You clear the path for attorneys to do their best work and give clients the confidence to trust the process.

What a Week Looks Like

• 📝 Draft and Fix Up Legal Docs
  Maybe it’s a contract, maybe it’s a court filing, maybe it’s just a client letter that needs a little warmth. You make legal language sound like plain English.
• 📂 Wrangle Files & Calendars
  Docs in order, deadlines mapped out, reminders set before anyone panics. That’s your groove.
• 💬 Be the Human on the Other Side
  First impressions count, so when a client calls or pings you on Slack, you bring calm, clarity, and just enough patience to make law feel less intimidating.
• ⚖️ Coordinate with Courts and Lawyers
  If something’s missing, you catch it. If a deadline’s coming, you’re already on it. It’s the difference between “rush job” and “right on time.”
• 🕵️ Dig Into Research
  Sometimes you’re deep in Westlaw, other times you’re piecing together facts for a case. Your curiosity is part of the engine.

How You Actually Move the Needle

• What relief in a client’s voice when you explain what’s next? That’s you.
• Attorneys close tabs on their browsers because you’ve already handled the details.
• No one’s scrambling for a file—because you made the digital system make sense.
• Case strategy gets a boost from the nugget you found in research.

Who Will Love This

You spot details others miss, but you don’t get stuck in the weeds. Explaining legal jargon in regular language? That’s your jam. Remote tools aren’t just something you use—you know how to make Clio or DocuSign actually save time.

Tools & Tech You’ll Touch

• 💻 Clio, NetDocuments, and other cloud-based systems
• 📆 Outlook, Google Calendar, and digital reminders
• 🔍 Westlaw, LexisNexis, and any research rabbit hole you can handle
• ✉️ Slack, secure email, and however clients prefer to chat
• 🖥️ Zoom, Teams, and all the remote staples

The Way You Work

• You act fast, but you won’t send a file until it’s right.
• Sometimes you ping an attorney to remind them of a date, and sometimes you build a whole new filing system because the old one was in disarray.
• Your updates turn messy situations into next steps.
• You’d rather ask a “weird question” than let something slip.

You’ll Thrive If...

• You’ve worked with legal teams (remotely or in-office) and know the drill.
• Docs, deadlines, and digital comms are second nature.
• You can explain a legal process to your friend without putting them to sleep.
• You’re the person who remembers the small stuff—even if you’re juggling three cases at once.
• You don’t freeze when things change—you just pivot and keep things on track.

What Winning Looks Like

• Clients mention your name when they tell us what went right.
• Attorneys actually go home on time because you caught the details.
• You map out deadlines so well, the team stops worrying about surprises.
• Cases wrap up faster and smoother, thanks to your hustle and heart.
