About the role

We are an established civil litigation and business law firm that is shifting its focus towards estate planning, probate and bankruptcy. As part of this process we are rolling out a comprehensive law firm management system from an established and respected national estate planning law firm consultation group. This means we will be maintaining an existing practice while building a new firm within the firm from the ground up: new software, new procedures, new practices, new markets and new clients—truly an opportunity to become part of the foundation of this new endeavor, while still enjoying the stability of an established firm. Overall, we are driven by providing an exceptional experience for our clients and prospective clients. Job Description Looking for a contract paralegal to do mostly probate and estate planning work, to develop and improve the firm forms, to prepare written procedures for various tasks, and to do some training of the rest of the staff. The firm does a lot of other areas of law as well, so could be some work in other areas if desired (trademark, business, personal injury, construction). Qualifications Must have meaningful experience in Arizona probate, including formal and informal probates, conservatorships and guardianships, and related; experience in estate planning, trust administration and Medicaid/ALTCS a big plus. Additional Information Pay and Benefits: Pay is DOE. Position is for contract work, at least at first. The office is open from Monday-Friday 8:30-5:00, but we have some flexibility with those hours. Remote work is fine, where appropriate. All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines. #J-18808-Ljbffr

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
