Paralegal/Legal Assistant Jobs in Kingston, TN at Sharon Clark Law, PLLC
If you enjoy being the source of calm and organization in a world of chaos, this is the job for you.
Are you serious about the law, yet buoyed by a good sense of humor and lively personality? Flynn and Associates, PLLC might be the place for you. We are one of the leading firms in Real Estate, Trust and Estate, and Business Dispute Litigation with two published cases and looking for more. Our attorneys are experienced initiating and defending will contests, undue influence suits, financial exploitation claims, contested probates and various other matters arising under the Washington State Trust and Estate Dispute Resolution Act (TEDRA).
We are also well-versed in complex business disputes, title disputes, contract disputes, real estate fraud matters, zoning/permitting issues, easements, complex evictions, and landlord/tenant disputes. We are litigation focused but are experienced in complex transactional work and estate planning as well.
We are looking for someone with an interest and passion in fighting for people who are often in their lowest moments. While you will be part of a team, working closely with our staff, you will be given the latitude to work independently and grow. We are small, so you will get in the trenches much faster than at a larger firm.
Flynn and Associates, PLLC is seeking a full-time paralegal to join the firm. The ideal candidate has 3+ years’ experience. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are a must. The position requires a candidate who can work independently on many different types of cases, manage demands and changing priorities, and is excited when faced with a challenge.
The position requires strong organizational skills, superior attention to detail, and a desire to work as part of a tight-knit team as well as keeping them on track. You will also be the first point of contact for the firm; answering phone calls from existing clients, fielding calls from potential clients, and coordinating with the courts. Case management is vital to this position, the ideal candidate will be able to meet strict deadlines as well as ensuring our attorneys meet those deadlines as well.
We are a small firm so fit will be incredibly important. We need someone who is excited about litigation but doesn’t hate transactional work. If you want to live out “Groundhog’s Day”, this is not the place for you. If you are interested in helping our firm grow while we help you grow, and being a part of a team long term, we are interested in talking to you.
We offer a competitive salary and health, dental, vision, life insurance, and 401K benefits. To apply, please send a cover letter, resume, and any writing samples you may have.
