JOB OVERVIEW

About the Role

We are a growing law firm looking for a Remote Legal Assistant / Intake Coordinator to support the administrative and operational side of our practice. This role handles client intake, case file organization, and day-to-day communication so our attorneys can focus on legal work rather than administrative tasks.

This is an early-stage type of hire in the sense that you will work closely with firm leadership and play a real role in keeping cases moving and clients informed.

This role works US business hours, which fall during the night in the Philippines. Please only apply if you are able to work a consistent night shift long term.

Core Responsibilities

Client Intake: Serve as an early point of contact for prospective clients. Gather case information, schedule consultations, and guide potential clients through the intake process.

Case File Organization: Maintain organized, accurate case files and documentation. Track deadlines and case status so nothing is missed.

Client Communication: Provide regular updates to clients on case progress. Handle routine questions professionally and know when to escalate to an attorney.

Document Support: Assist with preparing and organizing non-legal documentation, correspondence, and case materials. This role does not perform legal work or give legal advice.

Calendar and Deadline Tracking: Keep attorney calendars organized and flag upcoming deadlines, hearings, or filing dates well in advance.

What We Are Looking For

Required:

1 or more years of experience in an administrative, intake, customer service, or client coordination role (legal setting preferred but not required)
Comfortable learning a new case management system quickly (we will train on our specific platform)
Strong written and spoken English
Comfortable working independently in a remote environment on a night shift schedule
Organized with strong attention to detail

Preferred:

Direct experience with a case management system such as Clio, MyCase, or Filevine
Experience specifically in immigration, personal injury, family law, or another relevant practice area
Familiarity with legal document formatting and terminology
Previous experience working a night shift or graveyard schedule for a US-based company

Soft Skills We Care About:

Trustworthy with confidential and sensitive client information
Calm and reassuring with clients who may be going through a stressful legal situation
Proactive and organized, this role requires tracking many moving pieces at once
Clear communicator who knows the difference between administrative support and legal advice

Compensation and Details

Full time, 40 hours per week
Remote from the Philippines
Night shift hours aligned to US business hours
Pay range: $6 to $8 per hour depending on experience
Independent contractor engagement

How to Apply

To be considered, please submit:

Your resume or CV
A brief note explaining your experience with legal intake or case management systems
Confirmation that you can sustain a long-term night shift schedule, with details of any prior night shift experience
Your English proficiency level (spoken and written)
