What do we want in a Law Clerk/Legal Assistant?
Does Family Law interest you? Have you retained at least a good part of what you learned about family law at your Law Clerk college? To succeed at our firm, you need to have a genuine interest in family law. And/or you have solid family law experience. The less family law experience you currently have, the more we would expect you to come up to speed on the Family Law Rules, Notices to the Profession, Practice Directions, and the family law statutes that we use. This could very well require you to engage in a fair amount of study outside of work hours.
Friendly Demeanour: You will have a lot of contact with prospective/actual clients, other law offices and court offices. You need to be friendly, enthusiastic, helpful and solution oriented.
Programs: If you have at least the basics in Accounting Software, Microsoft and Divorcemate, we will help you reach higher levels of competency and fluency.
Law Clerk Tasks: We will show you how to competently prepare Financial Statements, N.F.P. Statements and Financial Disclosure Briefs in our particular style. Are you currently able or do you aspire to actually draft Applications, Motions, Affidavits, Conference Briefs, etc? Interested in assisting one of our Associate Lawyers with an upcoming trial? If so, we are happy to mentor you to achieve even higher levels of competence and economic value to the firm. You show us your enhanced economic value to the firm, and we will reward you with enhanced financial compensation. In short, at our firm there is ample room "to grow" in many ways.
Keep our files in order: We pride ourselves in the high level of organization to our files. Help us keep the files organized by filing electronic documents in the right place. We'll show you how.
We are committed; are you?: We offer great training and encouragement. We seek a Law Clerk who shares our dedication and would jump at this opportunity to truly develop his/her career in family law.
