Overview:
Administrative Legal Assistant – Workers' Compensation
Location: Fully Remote – Florida
About the Role
Are you a sharp, detail-driven legal professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment — and wants the flexibility of working from anywhere in Florida? We're looking for an Administrative Legal Assistant to serve as the right hand to a Partner in our Workers' Compensation practice.
This is not a background role. You'll be at the center of a high-volume practice — managing deadlines, coordinating complex schedules, producing critical legal documents, and serving as a key liaison between internal teams and external counsel. The position is structured as approximately 50% billable legal work and 50% administrative support, meaning your days are varied, substantive, and directly tied to client outcomes.
Essential Functions
- Manage and maintain the Partner's calendar, proactively anticipating scheduling conflicts and priorities
- Schedule and coordinate hearings, depositions, mediations, and field inspections across multiple parties
- Liaise professionally with opposing and outside counsel, clients, mediators, and vendors
- Draft correspondence, legal documents, and case materials with accuracy and rigorous attention to detail
- Calendar and track all deadlines, hearings, depositions, and mediations — ensuring nothing falls through the cracks
- Act as point of contact and resource for all adminisrtative functions for the Partner's Unit
- Manage a high case count — organizing tasks, monitoring calendar accuracy, and ensuring all matters are addressed on time
- Support discovery processes, scheduling, and client communications as the practice demands
- Provide coverage and assistance to other legal assistants as opportunities arise, maintaining team continuity and quality
Qualifications
- Prior experience as a legal assistant, paralegal, or comparable legal support role — Workers' Compensation background strongly preferred
- Demonstrated proficiency managing complex attorney calendars and deadline-driven workflows
- Strong command of legal document drafting, formatting, and Florida filing procedures
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills for coordinating with counsel, clients, and vendors
- Highly organized with the ability to independently manage competing priorities in a fully remote environment
- Familiarity with Florida court procedures, e-filing systems, and legal practice management software
- Discretion and professionalism when handling sensitive and confidential matters
- Ability to perform billable legal support tasks with accuracy and accountability
- Reliable home office setup with a strong, stable internet connection
