Legal/Executive Assistant

I need help! I have a growing marketing consulting firm, and a growing law practice. I focus on helping creative people and businesses reach their goals, which means I work with some great clients. Both companies help people start and build their creative endeavors. I handle projects ranging from intellectual property litigation to logo design, from trademark and copyright registration to market research. I need an assistant to help me get organized, file the paperwork, keep the books, and help me build both practices.

The perfect candidate is looking for a part time job that should quickly work into a full-time position. I’d like someone with experience in a law office who understands how the work in a busy law firm should be managed (because I sure don’t claim to know everything…), and be willing to help manage marketing consulting and other creative projects. The ideal candidate will be organized, creative, humble (will stuff envelopes if needed), mature, and trustworthy (Boy Scout experience is NOT required). Of course computer (Mac and PC preferred), proofreading, and typing skills are critical. Tax planning and preparation experience would be a definite bonus, but isn’t absolutely needed.

I know I’m asking a lot, so I’ll make sure the hours are flexible and pay enough to make it worth the time. This would be the perfect job for a (formerly) full-time parent seeking to get out of the house for a few hours a day and have some fun.

I’m stretched too thin right now to deal with telephone inquiries or drop-ins, so please email your resume (MS Word or PDF) to Kevin.houchin@houchinlaw.com, or you can fax it to me at 970-484-0012, or even mail it to me at 425 West Mulberry – Suite 105, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521.

Legal Assistant Wanted

Legal Assistant Wanted

My practice is growing and I’m looking for a legal assistant, preferably one that has worked in a small law office before and would be able to help me:

1. Keep and maintain client files.
2. Maintain the office calendar and list of projects.
3. Light bookkeeping – coordination with my current bookkeeper.
4. Document preparation for litigation.
5. Build management systems that scale with my growing practice.

Experience in tax planning and preparation would be a real bonus.

I’m thinking a part-time person would be best at the beginning. I don’t think there’s quite enough work right now for a full-time assistant – and I’m pretty good with technology. However, it might work into a full-time position next year.

If you’re interested, send a resume to:

425 West Mulberry – Suite 105
Fort Collins, Colorado 80521

Or Email.

Please don’t drop in personally or call – I’m really too busy for the interruptions – which is why I need an assistant. I’m sure you get the picture. ?

One Down

Last Friday we sent the C&D letter on one of the Google AdWords trademark infringement cases I have open right now. It was delivered this morning. By the end of the day the ad was down and the President of the recipient company called my client to say he had not previously been aware of the situation and that it wouldn’t happen again.

So, one down. I’d like to say that it was the power of my letter that resolved things so quickly, but the truth of the matter is that it’s all in the attitude of the leadership on the otherside of the issue. In this case, the President of the company on the other side intends to compete fairly. That’s refreshing.
