The Opportunity
Hire Now Staffing is partnering with a respected Cleveland-based law firm to hire a seasoned Legal Assistant to support a busy and highly detail-driven Business & Corporate Law practice.
This is an excellent opportunity for a legal support professional who has real transactional exposure-not just administrative experience-and who understands the pace, precision, and accountability required in corporate legal work.
The ideal candidate is someone who thrives in a professional office environment, enjoys supporting high-level attorneys, and brings direct experience with closings, entity documentation, and execution workflows.
Key Responsibilities
In this role, you will serve as an essential support partner to attorneys handling mergers, acquisitions, corporate governance, and ongoing business transactions. Core responsibilities include:
- Drafting, revising, proofreading, and formatting corporate and transactional documents, correspondence, and client materials
- Managing Docu Sign execution workflows, including signature tracking, distribution, and completion verification
- Preparing closing materials, including execution packets, checklists, and post-closing documentation
- Creating and maintaining organizational charts, entity records, and corporate filing materials
- Supporting corporate closings and ensuring all documents are finalized, organized, and properly stored
- Acting as a professional point of contact between attorneys, clients, vendors, and third parties
- Handling scheduling, time entry, file management, and administrative coordination within the practice group
Only candidates who meet the core requirements below will be considered for interview:
- Prior experience supporting Business or Corporate Law attorneys
- Demonstrated hands-on exposure to transactional legal work, including closings and execution management
- Strong proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, Outlook, Excel) and legal document systems
- Experience maintaining corporate records, organizing closing binders, and supporting deal processes
- Excellent attention to detail, organization, and ability to manage multiple priorities under deadlines
- Clear, professional written and verbal communication skills
- Authorized to work in the U.S. with no visa sponsorship now or in the future
- Ability to work fully onsite in Cleveland, OH
The most competitive candidates will also bring:
- Law firm experience supporting corporate transactions, M&A, or entity formation work
- Familiarity with document management platforms and corporate filing procedures
- Ability to anticipate attorney needs and operate with a high degree of independence
- Experience working in a fast-paced transactional group with overlapping deadlines
This position is not suitable for candidates who:
- Have no corporate or transactional legal support background
- Have not supported closings, Docu Sign workflows, or corporate documentation
- Are seeking hybrid or remote arrangements
- Require visa sponsorship now or in the future
