Qualifications - Required Experience: Proven experience supporting a U.S. law firm, with a specific background in Probate or Guardianship matters. - Attention to Detail: Exceptional attention to detail is the #1 requirement. You must have a natural habit of verifying information, catching inconsistencies that others miss, and consistently learning from feedback. - Communication Skills: Excellent written English and highly professional communication skills when interacting with clients and legal professionals. - Organization & Process: Strong organizational skills and the ability to precisely follow established processes and procedures. - Core Traits: High level of ownership, proactive communication when questions or problems arise, and a strong desire to build a long-term career with a growing U.S. firm. - Remote Infrastructure: A reliable internet connection and a dedicated, professional home office setup. Preferred Qualifications (Bonus) - Hands-on experience preparing probate petitions or guardianship documents from scratch. - Experience working directly one-on-one with a U.S. attorney or lead paralegal. - Background or experience in estate planning. - Familiarity with standard legal case management software. - A Philippine JD (Juris Doctor) or formal legal education is highly preferred. Schedule & Work Arrangement - Employment Type: Full-time, long-term position (Independent Contractor). - Location: Fully Remote. - Working Hours: Typically aligned with US business hours (exact schedule to be confirmed based on firm needs).
