Willoughby Law Firm, Inc.
Berkeley, CA Berkeley, CA Part-time Part-time $28 - $31 an hour $28 - $31 an hour 18 hours ago 18 hours ago 18 hours ago I am a small, solo law firm in Berkeley, looking for a compassionate and competent Legal Assistant.
Spanish speaking is a plus.
I am a very positive reinforcing, forward thinking trial lawyer who is laid back and easy going.
I am looking for a like minded and efficient Legal Assistant.
I practice medical malpractice plaintiff's work, mostly, although I also handle other matters, depending on my interest level.
The cases are very interesting and sometimes quite difficult to stomach.
Some cases are high profile.
All the work is trial litigation in medical malpractice or other medical related personal injury matters.
If you have any medical terminology experience that is a plus.
The position is part time and often times you will be working independently.
It would just be you and me in the office.
There is no other staff so if having a peer group around is important to you - and I understand that is important for many people - this may not be the right position for you.
I recognize that personal time is a premium, so time off is given liberally.
There would be an opportunity for you to work from home a day or two a week - down the road - but at first I would want you in the office so that we can learn how each other thinks.
That is really the only way you can understand the needs of the office.
I commonly work from home a day or two a week.
If you are a self-starter who enjoys multitasking and working independently in an informal environment, then you may be the perfect candidate!
