Job Description
Equivity is seeking an experienced Legal Assistant with hands-on experience in legal practice management software. We offer the autonomy of remote work paired with the security of W-2 permanent employment. Rather than picking up random gig tasks as 1099, you will be meticulously matched with specific law firms based on your expertise, acting as a dedicated extension of their team focusing only and entirely on delivering exceptional legal assistance.
This is a W-2 role, not a contract position. Workload and hours will fluctuate based on client demand, making it ideal for professionals who value flexibility over a guaranteed weekly schedule. When actively supporting clients, responsiveness is key—you will be expected to reply to clients and Equivity managers within one hour during your stated availability.
Responsibilities May Include
- Setting up, organizing, and maintaining matters, contacts, calendars, tasks, and workflows in legal practice management systems (Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, MyCase, etc.)
- Configuring practice management software features to improve law firm organization and efficiency
- Managing and processing billing (time entries, invoices, payments)
- Creating and maintaining templates, custom fields, task lists, and matter structures
- Supporting client intake and matter-opening processes
- Managing legal calendars, deadlines, appointments, and attorney schedules
- Organizing electronic client and matter files
- Generating reports and tracking matters, tasks, and firm activity
- Identifying opportunities to improve workflows and administrative processes
- Providing general legal administrative support based on client needs
- Communicating professionally with clients, courts, vendors, and other legal professionals
Required Qualifications
- At least two years of recent experience supporting attorneys or working in a law firm environment
- Experience using legal practice management software (e.g., Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, Filevine, or comparable platforms)
- Bachelor's degree required
- Availability to support at least 20 hours per week.
- Strong understanding of law firm processes and legal terminology
- Exceptional organizational, communication, and time-management skills
- Comfort learning new technology and improving existing processes
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat
- Access to a reliable computer
- Ability to respond remotely within one hour during your stated availability
Nice to Have
- Experience creating or improving workflows, matter structures, templates, tasks, or related functions within a practice management system
- Legal billing experience (time entries, invoices, and payments) is a plus, not a requirement
Compensation and Benefits:
- $23/hour — W-2 employment
- 6-month performance review with potential pay increase
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Paid sick leave
- 401(k) retirement plan
- End-of-year performance bonus
- Employee Assistance Program and employee discounts through BenefitHub
- Cell phone, internet, and eligible expense reimbursement
- Clio certification and professional development opportunities
- Supportive remote work culture with autonomy and flexibility
