Entry-Level Bilingual (En / Sp) Estate Planning Paralegal

Job Description

Job Description

We are a growing law firm seeking an Entry Level Bilingual (EN / SP) Estate Planning Paralegal who will take ownership and pride in contributing to our evolution and expansion. We provide sophisticated and comprehensive estate and asset protection planning services that make significant differences in the lives of the people we represent.

Paralegals are at the very heart of our expert legal teams, and they are vital to maintaining our standards of excellence. They have a direct impact on our day-to-day operations by providing attorney support, outstanding client services, timely and accurate document preparation, and detailed database maintenance. Your work will affect the lives and the legacies of other people.

Culturally, we are committed to the application of "Great Practice, Great Life!" for all our team members.

"Great Practice" means we have created a workplace where professional stress is minimized, internal systems produce predictable workflow, the caseload is reasonable, colleagues (both attorneys and paralegals) have true respect for what everyone contributes to the team, and we genuinely "have each other's backs." Our entire practice is focused on estate planning, asset protection, and uncontested probate (we do NO litigation).

"Great Life" means we have created a culture unlike that of most law firms, where home life is honored. We are with our families for dinner every evening. We don't work weekends. Each team member must have the vacation time necessary to recharge their bodies, minds, and souls.

In short, our "Great Practice" enables each of us to have a "Great Life."

Compensation : Starting at $40,000. Estate Planning is an area of the law in which most paralegals have no experience. Typically, there is significant training on the job, and we are paying someone to learn for approximately one year before they can work independently. Salaries in our firm increase with experience and value added to each position.

If you're looking to be a key part of an expanding business with opportunities to advance within our firm, please get in touch with us.
