Merovitz Potechin LLP is seeking a Corporate Admin Support to join our growing team.
Why Join Our Team?
We are an equal opportunity law office that values teamwork, respect, integrity, caring and professionalism. We believe in investing in people who share our commitment to practical legal advice and a focus on excellent client service.
Summary of position:
Our Business Law Group is growing fast, and we’re creating a new Operations Lead position to help build structure for that growth.
This is a senior administrative position for someone who is organized, future looking and ready to take ownership of how the team runs. You’ll handle a mix of corporate work support (organizing documents, coordinating filings, assisting with basic incorporations and annual returns) and day-to-day operations (client intake and outtake).
This role is the administrative cornerstone of the team: you’ll be the point person who ensures the group runs smoothly as we continue to expand.
Job Specifications:
- Support the group’s corporate work: organizing documents, coordinating filings, and assisting with tasks like incorporations and annual returns.
- Manage client intake forms, engagement paperwork and file-opening procedures.
- Assist with invoicing to keep work flowing.
- Coordinate workflow between lawyers and junior clerks, helping ensure deadlines and filings stay on track.
- Suggest process improvements and help implement better systems as the group grows.
- Provide informal mentorship to junior clerks (guiding and supporting, not formal management).
Qualifications:
- Experienced: 5+ years in a legal assistant or professional admin role (corporate law experience an asset, but not required, we can train you on incorporations and filings).
- Organized: You like systems, checklists, and making sure nothing slips.
- Tech-friendly: Comfortable with a Microsoft environment and willing to learn new productively tools.
- Calm & reliable: When things get busy, you’re the steady hand everyone counts on.
- Ready for the next step: You want a role with more scope and ownership than a typical assistant position, and you’re motivated to shape how a busy team operates.
Why This Role Matters:
As our Business Group continues to expand, we need someone who can lay the operational foundation for the next phase of growth. This isn’t an entry-level job, it’s for someone who’s ready to step into a role with more responsibility and become the go-to person for how the group runs.
