JOB OVERVIEW

Virtual Assistant – Attorney Support

Company: Voyant Legal PLLC
Location: Remote
Employment Type: [Full-Time / Part-Time — specify]

About the Role

Voyant Legal PLLC, a Utah-based estate planning law firm, is seeking a detail-oriented, highly organized Virtual Assistant to provide dedicated support to one of our attorneys. This role is critical to keeping client matters moving efficiently and ensuring the attorney can focus their time on high-value legal work. The ideal candidate is proactive, discreet, tech-savvy, and comfortable working independently while managing multiple priorities.

Key Responsibilities

Meeting & Task Management

- Listen to recorded client and internal meetings, extract action items, and schedule/assign tasks accordingly
- Use AI tools to summarize meetings, transcribe key points, and draft task lists efficiently
- Anticipate the attorney's needs based on meeting content and follow up proactively
- Maintain a running task list and provide status updates to the attorney

Inbox & Client Matter Management

- Monitor and help maintain the attorney's email inbox
- Flag urgent items, organize correspondence by client matter, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks
- Track open client matters and confirm all pending items are being actively handled, escalating any that are stalled

Legal Research & Preparation

- Conduct legal research on assigned topics, using AI tools to accelerate research and organize findings for attorney review
- Prepare clear, well-organized summaries and supporting materials ahead of attorney review or client meetings
- Verify AI-assisted research output for accuracy before presenting it — no unreviewed AI content is passed along as final

Client Communication Support

- Draft email responses to clients based on attorney direction, meeting notes, or established firm templates — using AI tools to speed up drafting where appropriate
- Ensure all drafts are prepared for attorney review prior to sending — never send client-facing communication independently
- Maintain a warm, reassuring tone consistent with the firm's client communication style

Required Qualifications

- Excellent spoken and written English — clear, professional communication is essential
- Solid working knowledge of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, or similar) for research, summarization, drafting, and task organization
- Exceptional attention to detail and follow-through
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple client matters simultaneously
- Comfortable working with legal terminology (training provided on firm-specific terms and processes)
- Reliable, self-directed, and able to work independently in a remote setting
- Discretion in handling confidential client and attorney information, especially when using AI tools

Preferred Qualifications

- Prior experience as a legal assistant, paralegal, or virtual assistant supporting an attorney
- Experience using AI tools specifically in a legal or professional services context
- Familiarity with legal research tools and/or estate planning concepts
- Experience with task management and email/calendar tools (e.g., Outlook, Asana, etc.)

What Success Looks Like

- The attorney's inbox stays current with no client matter overlooked
- Meeting action items are consistently captured and completed on time
- Legal research is accurate, well-organized, and ready for attorney review
- Draft client emails require minimal editing before being sent
- AI tools are used thoughtfully to increase speed and consistency, without ever substituting for the attorney's final judgment or client-facing sign-off
