Role Description We’re looking for a sharp, legally-fluent Triage Paralegal to serve as the first substantive touchpoint for incoming client matters. Think of it like a triage nurse with clinical training: you’re not just routing matters—you’re assessing them. If you thrive on variety, trust your own read, and have a low tolerance for things falling through the cracks, we’d like to talk. What You’ll Do - Matter Intake & Scoping - Own the intake process for all incoming client matters—review submissions, assess legal nature and complexity, and determine the appropriate path forward. - Ask precise clarifying questions to gather missing information efficiently, without creating unnecessary friction for clients or attorneys. - Categorize and prioritize matters based on urgency, client tier, subject area, and attorney availability. - Paralegal Work & Direct Handling - Handle standard paralegal tasks independently: minor revisions to agreements, entity filings, NDA reviews, contract summaries, template population, and document organization. - Draft correspondence and initial client-facing communications on behalf of the firm, as needed. - Maintain and update standard document templates as directed by attorneys. - Prepare matters for attorney handoff with a clear summary of the issue, relevant documents, and recommended next steps. - Routing & Assignment - Route attorney-required matters to the right person or team, with a clear read on complexity, specialty fit, and workload. - Maintain a real-time view of attorney capacity and help balance load across the team. - Escalate urgent or ambiguous matters quickly and confidently, with enough context for attorneys to act immediately. - Tracking & Follow-Up - Own the matter lifecycle from intake through resolution—maintaining accurate status in the firm’s matter management system at every stage. - Proactively follow up with attorneys and clients on open items, pending deliverables, and upcoming deadlines. - Flag stalled matters, surface blockers early, and drive issues to closure. - Client Communication - Serve as a consistent point of contact for clients on matter status, timelines, and next steps. - Translate legal complexity into clear, plain-language updates—communicating with confidence across founder, executive, and operating-level stakeholders. - Process & Systems - Work closely with attorneys and the engineering team to evaluate, build, and refine intake and routing workflows. - Identify patterns in matter volume, routing, and resolution time—surface insights that help the firm operate more efficiently. - Document and maintain SOPs for triage operations as the firm scales. Qualifications - Paralegal certificate or equivalent experience; bachelor’s degree preferred. - 3–5 years of paralegal, legal operations, or closely related experience in a law firm, legal tech, or in-house legal environment. - Solid legal foundation across commercial contracts and general corporate matters—you can read an agreement and know what matters. - Startup or high-growth company exposure strongly preferred—you’re comfortable with ambiguity and building process where little exists. - Located in Pacific Time or Central Time. Requirements - Excellent organizational instincts: you track everything, miss nothing, and communicate proactively. - Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable managing expectations with both internal teams and external clients. - You know what you can handle independently—and you’re equally clear about when something needs an attorney. - You have a low tolerance for things falling through the cracks—and a system for making sure they don’t. - You communicate with clarity, confidence, and friendliness regardless of who’s in the room. - You thrive on variety and can context-switch quickly without losing track of the details. Bonus Points - Tech-forward mindset—experience with project management tools such as Notion, CRMs, or workflow automation. - You’re curious about technology and excited about working in an environment that uses AI to change how legal services are delivered. - You’re energized by building better processes, not just executing existing ones. Compensation & Benefits - Base Salary: $80,000–$100,000, commensurate with experience. - 401(k) with 5% employer match. - Health & dental insurance fully covered, with partial subsidies for dependents. - Annual team onsites. - Training and development stipend. - Open to additional benefits that meaningfully support productivity and wellbeing.
