About the Role
We’re seeking a reliable and detail-oriented Legal Assistant to support our attorneys and administrative team. This is a hands-on position ideal for an experienced legal secretary or assistant—not a stepping-stone into paralegal work. You’ll ensure smooth day-to-day legal operations through excellent organizational and communication skills.

• Schedule meetings, manage attorney calendars, and coordinate travel/logistics
• Prepare, proofread, and format legal documents (e.g., correspondence, notices, pleadings, affidavits)
• Maintain and organize physical and digital case files, including law library materials and case-management systems
• Transcribe audio from meetings or proceedings when needed
• Support document management: scanning, copying, filing, and ensuring accurate version control
• Manage office and legal supplies, process invoices, and assist with billing support
• Coordinate with courts, opposing counsel, witnesses, and clients regarding appointments, filings, and deadlines
• Uphold confidentiality, compliance, and internal office procedures
Qualifications
• Minimum of 1–2 years’ experience as a legal assistant/legal secretary in a law firm, corporate, or government setting
• High school diploma or GED required; post‑secondary legal secretarial training is a plus
• Strong MS Office skills, familiarity with case-management or docketing software
• Excellent written and verbal communication, strong organizational ability, and meticulous attention to detail
• Comfortable handling confidential materials and managing multiple priorities under tight deadlines
• Based in Torrance or nearby—local candidates only
Compensation & Benefits
• Hourly rate: $25–$31/hour (averaging $25.89/hr in Torrance)
Why Join Us?
• A meaningful support role in a legal environment (litigation, estate, corporate, or municipal focus)
• Opportunity to refine legal administrative skills in a friendly, professional setting
• Stable, long-term position without paralegal-level pressure
• Convenient commute for Torrance-area residents
