Edmonton, Canada Block Law Full time

Block Law is a sole practitioner, remote-based firm looking to hire its first in-house paralegal/assistant. When I say "sole practitioner" you know it's me (Ben) posting this, so let's drop the third-party tone.

**About Block Law**

I set-up on my own two years ago, to allow more time for family and my ambitions outside of the law. Maybe I should say "alongside the practice of law"...not to suggest anything illegal. But, you know what I mean.

I believe in the use of technology, mobility, and plain language to serve clients while maximizing work-life balance for everyone at my firm (which is just me right now...but could be you too) I maintain an open, approachable practice, focusing on small business and real estate which has earned me plenty of 5-star Google reviews...and of course Google knows all. As for practice management, I have successfully relied on contract/remote paralegals so far, however, I have reached a point that dedicated support is needed to grow. That's where you come in.

Please note that in addition to my legal practice, I am involved in a few small businesses and may ask the selected individual to assist in occasional administrative tasks in relation to those as well. For that reason, it is important you are the sort of person that likes variety and doing what needs to be done, rather than a defined and traditional paralegal/conveyancer role.

This is the perfect position for someone who likes a diverse role, independence and being a key part of a practice. You must be variable, reliable, a great communicator, willing to "get things done", and very detail oriented. Real estate conveyancing experience is a must, corporate experience ideal, but most of the rest can be learned on the job.

Location will be home based with occasional meetings at my office or Starbucks as needed.

**Duties will include**:
**Legal**
- Real Estate Conveyancing
- Corporate Annual Returns
- Will and estate document drafting
- General correspondence
- Appointment setting and client service
- Billing
- Practice Software: Clio
- Conveyancing Software: LDD

**General Assistant Functions**
- Answering phone calls
- Appointment setting
- Filing

There will be opportunity for growth, learning new functions and you will be a critical part of our success.

Please reply with your CV, cover letter (as a writing sample) and desired number of hours per week.

Thank you for your interest and I look forward to speaking with you

**Job Types**: Full-time, Part-time

**Salary**: $25.00-$35.00 per hour

Expected hours: 30 per week

**Language**:

- English (required)
