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 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.

- Monday–Friday | 7:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.
