Legal Assistant | Reception

We are looking for a legal assistant / receptionist to join the Bow River Law team in downtown Calgary, AB!

We are a civil litigation firm, specializing in employment law and human rights. This is a great place to work with a fairly small team. The successful candidate would be joining a team of 3 other legal assistants.

The job qualifications are:
• legal assistant diploma
• 1+ years of experience as a legal assistant in a litigation atmosphere in Alberta is an asset, but there will be on the job training
• experience in employment law or human rights is an asset, but not a minimum qualification

The job duties are:
• answering phones
• handling client intake duties, including asking clients questions and gathering documentation
• drafting and sending correspondence for approval by lawyers
• some pleadings drafting, such as Affidavits of Records
• diarizing files
• opening and closing files
• creating invoices, cheques, etc. and sending them out
• other general legal assistant and administrative duties

Pay: $48,000.00-$55,000.00 per year
