  • Must have prior remote work experience, be fluent with remote collaboration tools and platforms (such as Slack, Zoom, Google Workspace, Asana, or similar), and have ideally worked with US or UK-based law firms. Applications without this experience will not be considered.


Preferred Qualifications

  • Familiarity with US law, legal procedures, and court systems is a strong advantage

  • Experience using legal CRM or intake platforms such as Lawmatics, Clio Grow, or Lead Docket
