A respected Dallas law firm is seeking a polished, highly organized, and proactive Legal Assistant / Executive Assistant to support one of the firm’s partners in both legal and executive capacities.

The role will work closely alongside the partner’s Legal Secretary and Paralegal to help keep day-to-day operations organized, deadlines on track, and priorities aligned.
This is a fast-paced, high-visibility opportunity for someone who thrives in a professional legal environment and can confidently manage both administrative and executive-level responsibilities.

  • Help manage and prioritize ongoing legal matters and deadlines
  • Communicate with attorneys, clients, court personnel, and outside contacts professionally
  • Assist with legal documentation, organization, and case-related administrative tasks
  • Coordinate travel arrangements, scheduling logistics, and day-to-day operational needs
  • Work closely with the Legal Secretary and Paralegal to ensure cases and projects remain on track
  • Handle confidential information with professionalism and discretion
  • Assist with both professional and occasional personal executive support responsibilities
  • Maintain organization across files, communications, and ongoing priorities
Qualifications
  • Previous experience in a Legal Assistant, Executive Assistant, Administrative Assistant, or related support role required
  • Law firm or legal industry experience strongly preferred

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced professional environment
  • High attention to detail and strong follow-through
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and general office technology
  • Professional demeanor with the ability to interact confidently with attorneys, clients, and leadership
  • Ability to maintain confidentiality and exercise discretion at all times
Compensation & Benefits
  • Starting pay: $31.00 - $33.00 per hour
  • Temp-to-hire opportunity with long-term potential
  • Opportunity for compensation increase upon permanent hire
  • Full benefits available upon permanent transition, including Medical, Dental, Vision, PTO, and Paid Holidays.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This is more than a traditional legal support role. The firm is seeking someone who can become a trusted extension of the partner they support while helping ensure the day-to-day flow of legal operations runs smoothly and efficiently. The right candidate will have the opportunity to step into a highly visible and impactful position within a professional and collaborative law firm environment.
