Lion Legal – Front Office Position
About the Firm
Transparency is a hallmark of our law practice; and, above all else, we value finding a great fit, both in personality and worth ethic, for all new additions to Lion Legal. Our mission, vision, purpose, and firm values are not simply words on our website. We truly embody them in our practice every day. We work as a team, relying on each other to provide the best services to our clients and allowing each of us to find the work-life balance we desire.
Lion Legal has been in business for over twelve years and intentionally grows each year. This success is contributed in large part to our strong team unity. We are very collaborative in how we can improve efficiency and effectiveness. We exemplify strongly the “work smarter not harder” mentality.
First and foremost, we are a trial law firm, and our attorneys are frequently in court. We are a trial heavy practice, and a “good fit” means Front Office Coordinators with a desire to support our attorneys and paralegals by thinking ahead, following through, and most importantly, the willingness to learn. Our Front Office does all of the behind the scenes work to keep our firm running smoothly, so that our attorneys and paralegals can focus on their cases and preparing for court.
We are stereotypical Type A personalities – extremely process oriented, organized, and detailed. We rely heavily on digital calendars, various technology programs, and case management software to never miss deadlines and to always be prepared. We are a paperless office. Achieving the best result possible under the law and facts of each clients’ case is not enough – clients must feel supported in the process, too. We support them by ensuring we respond to all calls/emails within two business days. Clients always know what we are doing, what they should be doing, and when they will hear from us again. Adherence by all of us to our Communication Philosophy is invaluable to the client experience at Lion Legal.
Hiring Process, Compensation, and Benefits
To maximize success with our firm, all new hires complete a six-month on-the-job training program, with the goals of teaching our particular processes, our general firm philosophies and values, and, for additions new to the legal field, training in general legal principles in our areas of practice. We provide written performance metrics – success is not a moving target for new or seasoned employees – and we conduct bi-annual reviews for all staff.
Compensation during the training period is tiered, with an initial salary of $37,840 in your first 90 days, and increasing to $42,000 after 180 days. After the first full year of employment, raises for all employees are considered yearly on a calendar basis, meaning all salary changes and bonuses are effective as of January 1 for consistency and stability.
In addition to competitive salaries and merit based annual raises, Lion Legal offers many other benefits, including optional health, dental and vision insurance for employees and their dependents (spouse and children). After a full year’s employment, all employees are eligible for six weeks of paid parental leave; and, after two years’ employment Lion Legal matches up to 3% of the employee’s contributions to our firm retirement plan.
Lion Legal genuinely values a true work-life balance. To that end, we are closed on all federal holidays, employ a 36-hour work week – closing at noon on Fridays. All staff also receive 96 hours of paid time off after probation during the first year, and an additional 40 hours after a full year’s employment. All staff have the opportunity to earn more PTO throughout the year. We are not micromanagers and expect all employees to be self-directed. All staff are required to take at least one week’s paid vacation annually. This is a long-term career position and burnout is real. We prioritize our mental health, so we can provide our best services to our clients and be the best professionals we can be, for the long term.
Lion Legal’s robust Front Office handles all administrative duties such as client on-boarding, marketing, advertising, human resources, accounts payable/receivable. The strong contributions of our Front Office allow our attorneys and paralegals (the “Back Office”) to focus on practicing law, not generating new business or collecting invoices.
Lion Legal prioritizes community commitment and involvement. We participate in a variety of community festivals and events in Central Arkansas, as well as host four free legal clinics annually at the NLR Laman Library. All staff are required to participate in at least 24 hours of community events annually, most of which are after normal business hours and/or weekends. We also strongly encourage networking of all types, and the firm will pay for professional memberships and CLEs.
