- Strong communication skills (both written and verbal)
- Bilingual (English/Spanish) preferred
- Tech savviness and experience with Microsoft Office is a plus
How We Work
- Full-time, 40 hours/week, on-site in Miami
- Occasional flexibility for additional hours during busy periods (e.g., trial prep)

Growth Opportunity
This role is designed to grow into an Office Manager / Lead Operations role over time for the right person.
You’ll gain:
- Exposure to the full case lifecycle
- Direct access to the attorney and decision-making

This isn’t a large firm role where you’re one of many.
You’ll be a key partner in the day-to-day operation of the firm, trusted with real responsibility early on and part of building something; not just maintaining it.
