Part-time legal assistant
(Hybrid - Sherwood Park)
This position is for a part-time legal assistant in a hybrid role -- part remote, part in-office. This position is ideal for someone seeking meaningful, flexible, professional work during regular business hours, with the occasional short evening for client estate signings. The role has room to grow as our practice continues to evolve. A good fit might be: - A parent or caregiver looking to stay engaged in professional work while maintaining balance at home. - Someone easing into semi-retirement but not quite ready to hang it up. - A self-driven, thoughtful individual who values independence, is accountable, and in-tune with the human side of legal work. The right candidate will bring a commitment to work and take initiative without needing constant oversight. We're not entirely a "traditional" law firm, and we're small, so you must thrive in a small, modern firm environment because your contributions have a direct impact on our clients and reputation. What you’ll do: - Assist with estate planning and estate administration files (drafting, document preparation, diarizing, file organization). - Support residential real estate transactions, including purchase, sale, and mortgage files. - Support other related client intake, document preparation, and file management. - Coordinate signing appointments (both in-person and virtual). - Communicate with clients and external partners (realtors, accountants, other law firms). - Manage scheduling, reminders, and small administrative projects. - Other duties as assigned. Hours and setup Part-time for now (approx. 10-15 hours/week). Negotiable. Independent contractor position.
