Position Summary
We are seeking a highly organized, proactive, and resourceful Executive Assistant to support the Managing Partner and help drive the day-to-day execution of firm priorities. This is a high-trust position for someone who can anticipate needs, manage competing priorities, keep projects moving, and bring structure and follow-through to a busy executive environment.
The Executive Assistant will serve as a key partner to the Managing Partner, coordinating communications, calendars, meetings, travel, special projects, and administrative priorities while helping ensure that important initiatives do not get lost in the day-to-day demands of running a growing law firm. The ideal candidate is an excellent communicator, comfortable working independently, able to handle confidential and sensitive information with discretion, and willing to take ownership of projects from start to finish.
This position requires someone who is comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment where priorities can change quickly. We are looking for a person who does not simply wait to be told what needs to be done, but who notices what needs attention, figures out how to move it forward, and follows through.
