Professional Legal Administrator

Do you want to wake up every day knowing you helped give peace-of-mind to real, hard-working families? 

AlerStallings law firm is looking for an experienced Professional Legal Administrator. This is an executive level position for a wide range of activities in all phases of administration, training, management, facilities, and business systems. This is not an ‘office manager’ nor an ‘administrative assistant’ position. You will be in executive meetings and responsible for the success of our non-attorney staff and office operations. 

We are an estate planning law firm. That means we plan, or deal with in real time, everyday life events – marriage, kids, retirement, sickness, and death. On the worst day of our clients’ lives, we’re often their first call.  That responsibility is huge, and we do not take it lightly. Our heart, patience, and compassion separate us from other firms.

And it is working. We remain one of the largest estate planning companies spreading over the Midwest, with close to 20 offices and having helped thousands of families. 

 What we ask

· Communication Excellence: The key aspect of this job is being able to communicate, and help bring to life, the strategic vision of the executive team to the rest of the company, while also being able to provide insight and direction from the front-line back to the executive team – excellence in both up, and down, courageous communication is required.

· Management Excellence: You will need to be able to manage multi-office operations efficiently and effectively, while also leading and inspiring a 10+ person team of administrative and paralegal team members. 

· Problem Solving Excellence: You will be in a unique position to optimize and improve processes and solve problems every day using critical thinking and helping our team to discern the ropes from snakes in our path to hitting our annual budgeted goals.

What we provide:
 

· Support – your executive team and the Captains in the teams your manage, will be shoulder-to-shoulder with you at every turn, aiding and supporting your efforts for us to be a world-class professional services organization. 

· Generous time off policy, Health Insurance, Dental Insurance, 401(k), Vision Insurance & Life Insurance.

If you want to help us change the world of estate planning and are looking for a highly challenging and rewarding career, please fill out our application and send over your resume.
