RIM Recruitment is partnering with a respected law firm to identify an experienced Legal Assistant for their Cleveland office. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast‑paced legal environment, enjoys being the organizational backbone of a busy team, and takes pride in delivering exceptional client service.

This position supports a group of attorneys and paralegals with a blend of administrative, document‑focused, and client‑facing responsibilities. We are seeking a polished professional who is proactive, detail‑driven, and comfortable managing shifting priorities with confidence.

What You’ll Do:

• Provide day‑to‑day administrative support to attorneys and legal staff, ensuring smooth workflow and timely follow‑through.
• Review, edit, and proofread legal documents with a sharp eye for accuracy, consistency, and formatting.
• Manage calendars, deadlines, CLE tracking, reimbursements, and other recurring administrative tasks with minimal oversight.
• Serve as a professional point of contact for clients, visitors, court personnel, and internal team members.
• Coordinate electronic court filings and maintain organized, compliant file systems.
• Support billing processes, including time entry, preliminary bill review, and communication related to billing updates or inquiries.
• Anticipate needs, respond quickly to requests, and keep the team informed of upcoming deadlines or required actions.
• Juggle multiple priorities while maintaining a calm, solutions‑oriented approach.

What We’re Looking For:

• 3+ years of Legal Assistant experience in a law firm or similar professional services environment.
• Strong proofreading, editing, and document‑production skills.
• High level of professionalism and client‑service orientation.
• Comfort interacting with attorneys, staff, and court personnel.
• Ability to manage competing priorities and work independently.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and willingness to learn new systems.
• Strong organizational instincts and a proactive mindset.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Join a well‑established legal team with a strong reputation for professionalism and collaboration.
• Work in an environment that values accuracy, communication, and client service.
• Opportunity to take ownership of your work and be a trusted partner to the attorneys you support.
• Hybrid work environment.
