Job Description

Job Description
Job Title: Legal Secretary – Transactional
Location: Downtown San Diego
Employment Type: Full Time
Base Salary: $90,000 to $115,000/year Based on experience
About the Role

We are hiring two experienced Legal Secretaries to support a high-volume transactional Partner in a specialized practice group focused on commercial, regulatory, and government-facing matters.

This is not litigation and not an entry-level admin role. You must be comfortable supporting senior attorneys, managing complex documents, and handling multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment with minimal oversight.

This role is best suited for a senior legal secretary with strong transactional document experience or a legal assistant who has supported partners in corporate, real estate, regulatory, or government practices.

Available Schedules

These are set schedules. Please only apply if one works for you.

  • Monday–Friday | 7:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.
  • Tuesday–Saturday | 11:30 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.

Indicate your preferred schedule when applying.

  • Drafting, formatting, and proofreading transactional documents, agreements, resolutions, memoranda, and correspondence
  • Preparing signature packets, deal documents, and closing binders
  • Supporting partners or senior attorneys in transactional, regulatory, or government-facing practices
  • Managing complex calendars and coordinating meetings with clients and agencies
  • Strong document management and attention to detail
  • Stable work history and ability to handle shifting priorities

Required:

  • Transactional, corporate, regulatory, government, or real estate practice experience
  • Strong document-handling and organization skills

  • Experience working with government agencies or regulatory matters
  • Exposure to finance, leasing, economic development, or commercial transactions
What You’ll Do
  • Support a Partner handling complex transactional and regulatory matters

  • Coordinate communications with tribal governments, agencies, and outside parties
  • Manage calendars, meetings, and deadlines
  • Organize due diligence materials and maintain matter files
  • Handle expense reports, administrative tasks, and travel logistics
Why This Role Makes Sense
  • Hybrid schedule with defined hours
  • Stable, well-run practice group
  • High-impact transactional and regulatory work
  • Clear expectations and structure
  • Long-term stability and strong firm culture
Compensation & Benefits
  • Base Salary: $90,000 – $115,000 (Based off of experience level)
  • Performance-based bonuses
  • Medical, dental, and vision (HMO/PPO options)
  • FSA / HSA options
