About Us

Lam Legal – Trial Lawyers is a growing Vancouver civil litigation firm. We handle commercial, estate, construction and personal injury files, and we run a close-knit, drama-free office where people are trusted to own their work.

We are hiring an Administrative Assistant to keep the office running – the person everyone relies on to make sure nothing falls through the cracks. This is a genuine entry point into the legal field: no legal experience required, and we will train you.

What You'll Do

- Keep the front of house running: greet clients, set up the boardroom, and handle overflow reception calls professionally.
- Manage incoming and outgoing mail, courier packages, scanning and filing.
- Maintain organized physical and digital filing systems for legal documents.
- Book and coordinate appointments, calls, meetings, examinations for discovery, IMEs, mediations and trial dates with clients and opposing counsel.
- Support the billing team with data entry, printing and depositing cheques.
- Assist paralegals and legal assistants with document production, photocopying, and online court filings.
- Order supplies and keep common areas and workrooms stocked and tidy.

What We're Looking For

- Strong organizational skills and genuine attention to detail – you catch the thing other people miss.
- Clear, professional written and verbal communication.
- Comfortable with Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel) and Adobe Acrobat.
- Able to juggle competing requests and re-prioritize calmly.
- Reliable, punctual, and happy to be in the office five days a week.

Nice to Have (Not Required)

- Previous administrative experience in a law firm, accounting firm, medical or dental office.
- Exposure to legal billing software (CosmoLex or similar).
- Enrolment in or completion of a Legal Administrative Assistant certificate.
- A second language, particularly Cantonese, Mandarin or Punjabi.

No legal experience is required. If you are organized, dependable and want to build a career in law, we will train you.

What We Offer





- $38,000 per year on a 35-hour week – 9:00 to 5:00, with a full hour for lunch. No evenings, no weekends, no on-call.
- Paid time off and casual dress.
- Extended health and dental coverage.
- Free on-site parking.
- A real path forward. This role is designed as a stepping stone: we support Legal Administrative Assistant certificate studies and promote from within. Our last Administrative Assistant completed her LAA certificate while working here.
- A small, supportive team where your work is visible and valued.
