Overview

JK Law Corporation is seeking a professional, organized and client-focused Receptionist / Legal Administrative Assistant to join our Surrey office.

Our practice includes family law, immigration law, and estates matters. We are looking for someone who can serve as the first point of contact for our clients, provide dependable administrative support to the lawyer, and assist with the firm's day-to-day operations.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working with people, is highly organized, and wants to grow into a substantive legal administrative role.

Key Responsibilities

- Answer and direct incoming telephone calls professionally and efficiently.
- Greet clients and visitors and maintain a professional front-office environment.
- Conduct preliminary client intake and collect basic information before consultations.
- Schedule consultations, meetings, court dates, deadlines and other appointments.
- Maintain the lawyer's calendar and assist with deadline tracking.
- Open new client files and ensure required intake, identification, retainer and administrative documentation is collected.
- Maintain organized electronic and physical client files.
- Scan, save, name, organize and upload documents using the firm's file-management procedures.
- Prepare routine correspondence, emails and administrative documents.
- Assist with formatting, assembling and organizing legal documents and application packages.
- Follow up with clients regarding outstanding documents, appointments and administrative requirements.
- Assist with incoming and outgoing mail, courier packages, service materials and document deliveries.

and general office administration.
- Communicate professionally with clients, courts, government agencies, opposing counsel and other third parties.
- Maintain strict confidentiality regarding all client and firm information.

Ideal Candidate The successful candidate will have excellent verbal and written English communication skills, strong attention to detail, professional telephone manners, sound judgment, discretion, and the ability to remain calm when dealing with clients who may be stressed or emotional.

Previous reception, administrative or legal-office experience is preferred. Experience in family law, immigration law or estates is an asset but is not required for the right candidate.
