Aviation Law Firm Seeking Office Assistant / Paralegal / Membership and Meetings / Program Manager
We are a small law firm that represents trade associations and aviation businesses. We’re looking for one or two people - we have a set of tasks that need to be accomplished and may hire more than one people to meet those needs (hence the variety of titles). Our firm is fairly laid back, but becomes fast-paced when deadlines and/or major events approach.
The ideal candidate must be sufficiently self-motivated to operate independently from time to time, detail-oriented and able to track and complete tasks that are assigned. Because we are small, your duties will be based on the changing needs of our client base, and your responsibilities will grow as you become more comfortable in the position.
Your duties would include (but not be limited to):
Scheduling and organizing off-site trade association meetings and training sessions
Speaking with clients and trade association members n the telephone
Assisting with the preparation of letters and other communications
Preparing and mailing documents
Tracking trade association membership issues
Helping to develop trade association benefits to improve aviation safety and facilitate profitability
Work in Microsoft software (Excel, Outlook, Powerpoint, Word)
Filing, copying and all of the other mundane tasks that we all have to perform in an office
Other duties as assigned by the President
We would also like to see you have one or more of the following “additional skills”:
Create and/or edit web pages
Bookkeeping (Quickbooks)
Legal research
Write articles for client newsletters
Manage programs
Interest in law, aviation, or manufacturing would be useful but is not required.
Travel would likely be required for at least one business trip per year. Because of the continuing nature of our work, we ask that anyone that takes the job commit to remain for at least one year; but we are happy to consider both permanent and limited-time candidates (e.g. candidates who want to take time off between college and graduate school). Many of our alumni have gone on to law school or other graduate programs.

1 a cover letter that includes:
· your favorite color
1 a description of the “additional skills” that you would bring to the position
2 your salary requirements
3 your career goals (be honest … we understand if we are not your final destination but we’d like to at least be a part of the journey)
Failure to comply with these application requirements will disqualify you from consideration, so please pay attention to the details!
