Sterlington PLLC is a full-service law firm focusing on complex corporate, litigation, executive compensation, and private wealth matters. As a firm, we focus on the economic as well as the legal aspects of our matters. Among other strengths, Sterlington is the ultimate law firm for founders, senior executives, and UHNWIs as well as their related businesses.
We are looking for a first-class Legal Practice Assistant to provide white glove support service to our firm’s partners and attorneys. By gaining a deep understanding of each partner’s practice, you will support them to execute on client matters, run the administrative engine behind the work, coordinate with stakeholders across the firm, and help ensure our business and our clients’ goals are achieved.
This is a broad role for someone who wants more than calendar management. Alongside core executive support, you will work on documents, matter coordination, process and project management. As we scale, we are adding elite talent to this team.
The partner’s day. Complex, multi-time-zone diaries: schedule, protect, and make the call when two things collide. Inboxes with judgment, not just volume: triage, surface, draft the first pass, chase what has gone quiet. Meeting packs, briefing notes, agendas, and the follow-up actions afterwards. Travel end to end, including the changes in flight and the reconciliation afterwards.
The client-facing paperwork. Engagement letters prepared, circulated and tracked through to signature and return. Client and prospect correspondence written to a standard that reflects who we act for. Contact records and CRM entries that are accurate because you keep them that way.
Time and billing, to the flagging line. Prompting and chasing time capture. Flagging billable items, disbursements and expenses to Finance for processing. You need enough billing literacy to spot what matters. You will not be processing it.
How you work. Anything belonging to the wider function goes through the Legal Operations intake channel rather than into your own list. You work to the team’s published response standards. You reach for AI first and tell us when you have found a faster way.
Strong proficiency with MS Office, Aderant or similar practice management software, PowerBI or similar data analytics dashboards, Claude, CoPilot or similar AI tools, Asana or similar project management tools
At Sterlington, we believe that world-class talent has no boundaries. We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment where unique perspectives are valued and every individual has the opportunity to thrive. We encourage all qualified candidates to apply.
Straight to the employer's own application — no middleman.
Tell us and we'll mark Sterlington, PLLC as a company that has actually hired in the Caribbean. It's the most useful thing on this board and it only exists because people report it.
