Job description

Novo Legal Group is a human rights firm with offices in Denver, CO and Seattle, WA. We take tough cases, apply an innovative and collaborative approach, and we win - our win rate is exceptional. We work hard to deliver the best possible results for our clients where other firms have given up or already failed. The work is difficult but fulfilling, and we strive to provide a familial yet professional environment to hone our craft.

We're currently looking for someone to become the right hand of the Managing Partner for our Seattle office. He's a exceptional litigator and as a result, is has many demands on his time. He's also overloaded and is terrible at delegating. He is in need of someone to take control and help him stay on time and on target. Your primary responsibility will be to take care of him (as outlined below). However, there's another partner that also requires a bit of oversight (though not quite as much as the first). More on that later.

Do you want to understand the workings of a high-volume boutique law firm that has litigated cases of national importance?

Are you a highly organized self-starter with an ability to be simultaneously professional and yet assertive?

Here's what we expect of the position right now (otherwise known as Duties and Responsibilities):

• Manage the schedule for the Managing Partner and head of our litigation department. That means reviewing his calendar, scheduling appointments, and making sure he actually shows up on time and prepared.
• Monitor and respond to email and other communication on behalf of your supervising attorney.
• Manage his social media feed - he has 50k+ followers on various platforms and receives inquiries for many purposes that require his attention and response.
• Coordinate travel arrangements. He travels frequently to Denver and California, but sometimes elsewhere. Make all arrangements for flights, hotel, and vehicles when appropriate.
• Drive him places. Sometimes he needs to be in court in Tacoma but needs to work along the way. We don't want him getting into an accident or taking out a street light (again), so help him get to those places safely and without incident. And try not to be too distracted by the light show for Daddy Yankee.
• Manage office operations alongside and in support of the managing partner and complete projects and tasks as they are assigned. Interpretation: whatever else we may need but haven't thought of yet.

Here's what you'll need (aka Desired Qualifications):

• Ability to work effectively and professionally with lawyers, paralegals, legal assistants, and clients. And survive the occasional rave.
• Demonstrated commitment to civil rights and liberties consistent with the values of Novo Legal Group. We have a mission and we try to stay true to it.
• Work well independently and collaboratively, and have a keen ability to simultaneously manage multiple projects and deadlines.
• Cultural competence to work cooperatively with diverse community organizations and coalitions.
• Experience working and communicating with marginalized or vulnerable communities.
• Sense of humor.
