Legal Assistant

About the role

This role is a true hybrid of legal assistant and contract administration work. You will handle 100% of subcontractor contract issuance across our active projects — including the addendums that come with them — while also supporting our in-house attorney with scheduling, calls, and day-to-day legal support.

Responsibilities

• 100% of contract issuance for subcontractor agreements, using templates built by the legal team.
• Contract addendums — roughly 5 to 10 per project out of 50 to 75 total subcontracts, some running up to 9 pages.
• Scheduling, phone calls, and day-to-day administrative support for our in-house attorney.
• Closely coordinate with project teams to keep contract templates applied correctly and consistently.
• Track contracts toward buyout — with a bonus incentive when contracts reach buyout within 90 days.
• Support on outside litigation matters and coordination with outside counsel.
• Confidential handling of contract files, records, and sensitive legal documentation.
• Day-to-day work inside CMiC, Autodesk, and Monday.com to manage contracts and project documentation.

Requirements

• Paralegal background or 1-2+ years of experience at a law firm strongly preferred.
• Bachelor's degree required — we take a close look at GPA and writing samples.
• J.D. holders looking to move into construction are welcome and encouraged to apply.
• Highly organized, with the ability to manage a high volume of contracts and deadlines at once.
• Genuinely curious and eager to learn new systems, processes, and ways of working.
• Trustworthy with confidential and sensitive information.
• Tech-savvy and comfortable picking up new software — experience with CMiC, Autodesk, or Monday.com is a plus.
• Construction industry experience is a significant plus.

Qualifications

• Competitive salary based on experience.
• Bonus incentive when contracts reach buyout within 90 days.
• Comprehensive benefits package.
• Paid time off and professional development opportunities.
• Full-time, exempt position based in Deerfield Beach, Florida.
