Join Our Team

At O’Connell Law, LLC, we believe exceptional legal service is about more than producing great legal work. It’s about making sure our clients feel supported, informed, and cared for throughout the process.

We are a collaborative, fully virtual law firm looking for a Legal Assistant who is organized, dependable, comfortable with technology, and genuinely enjoys helping people. This is a great opportunity for someone who takes ownership of their work, communicates well, and enjoys being part of a team where everyone is willing to jump in and help when needed.

As a Legal Assistant, you’ll work closely with attorneys and other team members to keep client matters moving forward and provide an excellent client experience. Responsibilities will include:

• Serving as a friendly and professional point of contact for clients
• Drafting, reviewing, and revising legal documents and correspondence under attorney direction
• Managing client matters, deadlines, follow-ups, and outstanding items
• Maintaining accurate client files and information within firm systems
• Assisting attorneys with projects, case preparation, and day-to-day needs
• Communicating and collaborating with attorneys, legal assistants, and other team members
• Helping ensure clients always know what to expect and never feel lost or forgotten

What We’re Looking For

• Is highly organized and able to manage multiple priorities

• Values teamwork and understands that serving our clients well is a shared responsibility
• Has flexibility to work 30-40 hours per week

Experience with Clio, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and HighLevel is a plus, but a willingness and ability to learn new technology is just as important.

What It’s Like to Work Here

We are a virtual team, which means communication, accountability, and follow-through matter. We value people who are kind, dependable, collaborative, adaptable, and committed to doing excellent work.

Our team embraces technology, looks for better ways to work, and supports one another when things get busy. We want someone who isn’t simply looking for a list of tasks to complete, but who wants to contribute to the team and help create an exceptional experience for our clients.
