Legal Assistant / Paralegal
If you are looking for a traditional law firm environment, keep scrolling! If, however, you are a goal-oriented, tech-leveraging, task-master who wants to work smart alongside a team who knows that legal work can be fun and rewarding, read on.
​
CEDAR GROVE LAW is a law firm founded in 2020 that focuses on farmers, agriculture law, and the business planning and disputes that arise out of farming and land use. We understand that practicing excellent law and being a little quirky are not mutually exclusive!
​
This role will be supporting our litigation workflow and the administrative function of the law firm. What does that mean? Welp, part of your time will be reporting to our litigation leader. Think of it as supporting ground control with a map of NC, an Outlook calendar, and a stack of court filings to send to courts across NC—like Tetris, but court appearances. You’ll calendar court dates, and manage our case load and your time in Clio. You’ll process mail, call court clerk’s offices and start the whole process again. You’ll spend the remainder of your time reporting to one of the firm’s co-founders and supporting the administrative functions of the firm, processing mail, setting up appointments, ordering supplies, helping with marketing tasks, to name a few things you’ll do as a “utility player” at our firm. Some of this work needs to performed on sight at our office in downtown Hillsborough each day. Otherwise, you can work remotely to accomplish your work.
