- Help onboard new attorneys, paralegals, legal assistants, intake staff, administrative staff, and contractors.
- Track onboarding tasks, training assignments, system access, and policy acknowledgments.
- Maintain HR records, including offer letters, onboarding documents, attendance records, training records, HR notices, and offboarding records.
- Track attendance and timekeeping issues, including absences, sick days, late arrivals, missed shifts, and schedule changes.
- Prepare HR trackers, spreadsheets, summaries, and routine documentation.
- Serve as a professional contact for routine HR questions.
- Document employee concerns and escalate sensitive workplace issues to the appropriate firm leader.
- Help with offboarding, including equipment return, access removal, and separation documentation.
- Maintain strict confidentiality in all HR matters.
What We’re Looking For
- Prior HR experience.
- Law firm or legal office experience is strongly preferred.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Strong attention to detail.
- Good organization and follow-through.
- Ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines.
- Ability to document issues clearly and professionally.
- Good judgment on when to escalate an issue.
- Comfort working with attorneys, legal staff, administrative staff, contractors, and remote workers.
- Comfort using email, spreadsheets, Slack or similar messaging tools, HR systems, and document-management tools.
Helpful Experience
- Law firm HR or professional-services HR experience.
- Employee onboarding and offboarding.
- HR records and compliance trackers.
- Recruiting support.
- Training assignments and policy acknowledgments.
- Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, Slack, ADP, Deel, or similar systems.
- California workplace documentation and compliance concepts.
