Job description
Outset Law is a new boutique family law practice based in Vancouver looking to rapidly expand; it was built because the traditional law firm model doesn’t work for most people.

Legal administrative assistants are often the backbone of a family law practice, yet they are routinely overworked, under-supported, and expected to absorb constant urgency. Late filings. Poor planning. Last‑minute demands. Time off that never really feels like time off.

maintaining an efficient file management and bring forward system;

maintaining a full calendar, email management and managing lawyers’ practice;

monthly billing;

liaising with legal assistants, paralegals, opposing counsel and clients on file progress; and

general administrative duties as required.

a minimum of 1 year of experience as Legal Assistant, working in the area of Family Law;
