We are currently seeking a Junior Legal Administrative Assistant to assist our busy Estates Department. This position is in-office at our Chilliwack office and available immediately. This entry-level position could be suitable for current Practicum Students or very newly graduated Legal Administrative Assistants. This position may also be of interest to students presently enrolled in a LAA Certificate program looking to both work full-time and pursue their studies concurrently.

An example of the main duties are (but may not be limited to):

  • Prepare files for New Client Meetings (Authorizations, completion of Estate Info sheet, searches)

  • Simple follow ups with banks/institutions including emails and phone calls requesting responses to our inquiry letters
  • Payment of bills/deposit of cheques, letters for payment of Estate bills

You would report most directly to two Senior Paralegal and other Legal Assistants, which provides an excellent and encouraging environment for continued training.

The successful candidate will be mature, have meticulous attention to detail, established writing and communication skills, the ability to work in a team-oriented environment, and possess very strong computer skills as we work in an ever-increasing paperless practice.

While we appreciate all applications, only those candidates considered for an interview will be contacted.
