Lawvex is a five-attorney, tech-forward law firm with offices in the cities of Clovis, Madera, and Solvang in sunny central California. We are a business, real estate, and trust and estates firm that is on track for aggressive growth and we need a rockstar Legal Assistant to join our amazing team and work directly with attorneys and staff to help our clients with their legal needs.
Since 2009, Lawvex has been on a mission to take the frustration out of law for our clients, staff and attorneys. Our vision is to become a regional firm with offices throughout central California. We want to be known for our early (2009) adoption of cloud-based technology and for using that to create a new standard in quality of life for staff and attorneys and an amazing legal experience for clients.
New Standard in Quality of life means: you work in office with our team working hybrid or remotely; we provide you with a cutting edge suite of software to do your job and communicate internally and externally; we provide you with competitive compensation, benefits and opportunity for bonus compensation for those who can demonstrate their profitability; we provide clear key performance indicators and regular performance reviews so you know if you’re winning and why; and we provide team connection opportunities through weekly video meetings, and periodic live events that you are welcome to attend.
Amazing Legal Experience means: we help business owners and families plan for, transfer and inherit their business and real estate so that they have peace of mind; we build amazing relationships with our clients by living out our values: Speed, Efficiency, Value, Education, Compassion, and Transparency; and we solicit and receive outstanding feedback and reviews from our clients for doing a great job.
We love to help people learn and grow. But we don’t have the time for that right now. We need a legal assistant who can hit the ground running but also embrace our values. The ideal candidate will be able to take initiative on work that needs to be done and complete tasks with minimal hand holding.
We have multiple members on our team who are not assigned to a particular attorney but instead work within one or two niche practice areas such as probate, estate planning, litigation, trust administration, business or evictions. This facilitates deep expertise which results in systems and processes to make work easier, more efficient and reduce errors.
