Growing U.S. employment law firm is seeking an **experienced Legal Case Manager / Legal Assistant** for a long-term remote position.
**This is not an entry-level position. Prior legal case-management or substantive law-firm experience is required.**

The position will begin at approximately **10–20 hours per week**, but we have substantial work available. A strong performer who consistently completes accurate work, meets deadlines and demonstrates initiative may receive significantly more hours.
### Compensation
* **$2.50 USD/hour starting rate**
* Approximately **10–20 hours per week to start**

### What We Are Looking For

You should be:
* Experienced in legal support or case management
* Highly organized
* Productive
* Proactive
* Reliable
* Detail-oriented
* Comfortable communicating with U.S. clients
* Able to work independently
* Able to recognize when something is missing or requires follow-up
