G & G Law, LLC is hiring a Legal Operations Assistant to provide attorney support, help manage legal projects and scale our operations, and serve our small business clients. This is the perfect position for applicants looking for a dynamic position in a growing and innovative law firm. Our office is located at 4619 N. Ravenswood Ave, on the north side of Chicago.

Our office is located at 4619 N. Ravenswood Ave, on the north side of Chicago.

G & G Law is a 21st century law firm with a mission to make quality legal services accessible to small businesses. Our legal services include client contracts, business formation, employment law, trademarks and intellectual property, outside general counsel, and the purchase and sale of businesses. We strive to provide smart, effective solutions by listening to our clients and thinking outside the box of traditional law firms. Find out more here.

One of our values is “Happy Lawyers and Staff.” To us, this benefits both our team and our clients. While we endeavor to provide the same quality of work as big law firms, we recognize that our team members do and should have rich and fulfilling lives outside the firm. We don’t expect our team to work more than a regular, 9-5 schedule, and we can also make the schedule somewhat flexible with remote work for the right candidate.

The position is full-time, 35 hours per week. There will be opportunities for professional growth, with employee input. As our firm grows, we want our people to lean into roles that they find fulfilling.

We need someone organized, responsible, adaptable, and smart. Someone who loves checklists and schedules and color-coded everything. Someone who can identify and implement small procedural patches (or big ones) to improve and streamline our workflows. Someone who can keep multiple projects on track and take ownership of their management. Someone who can work in tandem with and contribute to a close-knit team where input is valued, respected, and asked for. We believe in constant growth and improvement (one of our firm’s values is “Keep Growing”), and expect and encourage the same in everyone on the team.

The position will involve assisting our attorneys in the provision of transactional legal services, working directly with our small business clients and our legal and administrative teams. This position will take ownership of legal project management, workflow management, helping to develop processes, incorporation of technology, creation of educational materials for newsletters and the website, etc.
