Job Order Detail

Description

Located in downtown Saskatoon, we are a small but growing office that is part of the larger Oykhman Criminal Defence team. We practice solely in criminal defence, representing clients at trial and on appeal.

We are looking for a part-time Legal Assistant (approximately 10-20 hours per week) to join our Saskatoon office. Your duties will include communicating with clients, scheduling meetings, and providing basic information to clients, court staff, and prosecutors. You will be expected to draft basic correspondence and transcribe dictations. Other duties will include digitizing paper documents, organizing and diarizing files, accepting payments, and managing firm processes such as opening files and completing billings.

A legal assistant diploma or experience working in a law office would be an asset but is not required. We are willing to train the right person. However, you must be able to work independently. You will be the only person in the office for several days each month.

You must have superior communication abilities and a keen eye for detail, with excellent proofreading skills. The ability to multi-task, prioritize, and work with minimal supervision is essential. Advanced proficiency in Word, Excel, Outlook, and Adobe Acrobat is required.

Your starting wage is commensurate with experience but will generally fall between $20-$25 per hour. Hours of work are extremely flexible (including working evenings or weekends, if desired), and we are willing to accommodate some degree of work-from-home. However, this job does require attendance in the office on a regular basis.
