We are looking for a Legal Assistant who wants to do meaningful work in a collaborative, high-trust environment—someone who takes pride in being an essential part of a team that values camaraderie, professionalism, and client service.

About the Role

This position is central to the way we serve our clients. You will work closely with attorneys and paralegal staff to ensure matters move forward efficiently and thoughtfully.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting attorneys and paralegals across client matters
• Preparing, proofreading, and organizing legal documents and correspondence
• Managing communications with clients, advisors, and internal team members
• Coordinating meetings, calendars, and follow-ups
• Maintaining organized files and matter records
• Assisting with general office operations and workflow management

Legal assistants play a critical role in law firms by helping manage documents, communications, and day-to-day processes so the attorneys can focus on higher-level legal work. They are also often representing the firm in the way they present and conduct themselves with clients in the office, on the phone, or over email.

What Makes Certus Different

We are not a typical law firm—and we are intentional about that.

• High trust, No Hovering. We hire capable people and give them the space to do their work well.
• Ownership mindset. You will be expected to manage your responsibilities, follow through, and take initiative.
• Respect-driven culture. We treat each other and our clients with professionalism, kindness, and mutual respect.
• Meaningful client relationships. Our clients rely on us not just for documents, but for guidance and perspective.

Our environment is not for everyone, though. The same autonomy that empowers strong performers requires accountability, judgment, and self-direction. If you prefer close supervision or constant direction, this may not be the right fit. But if you value independence and take pride in getting things done well, you will likely thrive here.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong organizational and time-management skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication
• Attention to detail and pride in high-quality work
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines
• Comfort interacting directly with clients and professionals
• A proactive, self-directed approach to work
• A sense of humor

Prior experience in a legal or professional services environment is helpful, but we are ultimately looking for someone who is reliable, thoughtful, and committed to doing excellent work.

Why This Role Matters

At Certus, legal assistants are not just support staff—they are a key part of the client experience. Your work will directly impact how clients feel about our firm and the confidence they have in the plans we help them build.
