Company: Cha Law Ethics


Description: (Sr. Director level or higher) This role is open to California residents only. The OC area is a bonus. WE ARE A SMALL LAW FIRM LOOKING FOR AN EXPERIENCED LAW FIRM ADMINISTRATOR TO TAKE US TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND BEYOND. We are looking for a Law Firm Administrator, an Operations Director for a Law Firm. This is a Sr. leadership level position … a full-blown, bona fide Director responsible for a wide range of activities in all phases of administration, operations, people management, and business systems. We need someone with significant hands-on experience. You will handle key administrative responsibilities and play a major role in shaping firm culture. You must have experience managing a team of more than 20 people and a budget of more than $8,000,000. This is not a position for an Office Manager or an Administrative Assistant. We have put a lot of energy into building our “A team” and we need to take it to the next level. As you know, the Law Firm Administrator is a key hire; it is crucial that we get this right! Our process might take a little longer than you’re used to…but it’s worth it. If you take the time to read this ad and follow the instructions to apply, we will be excited for the chance to learn more about you. Responsibilities: About the position This position is responsible for overseeing and improving both our people and our processes. Our Law Firm Administrator is responsible for planning and managing the day-to-day operations of the Firm, and for implementing Firm policies and procedures under the general guidance and supervision of the owner. Our Law Firm Administrator will create or improve all administrative functions in our firm. We are building a firm where systems run the business, and people run the systems. What you can do is important. Who you are is equally important. The right person for this role must: • Not only adapt to change but drive it. • Provide solutions, not just uncover problems. • Have a high energy level. • Have thick skin and high empathy. • Have a sense of humor in equal measure to your sense of compassion. • Have keen conflict resolution skills (not conflict avoidance skills). • Be metrics-driven and KPI-obsessed. We need someone with the experience and maturity to keep the Firm’s needs in the forefront and work closely with the Owner and leadership team on strategy, policy, problem-solving, and decision-making. The ideal candidate understands that you cannot manage what you do not measure – and can help us figure out how to build systems to ensure we can measure and manage effectively. We need a Law Firm Administrator who is a savant in project management and systems development, and who will be invested in making important contributions to the operating and financial success of the Firm. Our ideal candidate is not just comfortable with growth and change but thrives in an environment where people are constantly looking to improve the business and themselves. Our business grew fast and we have a growth-focused environment. Working with us can prove to be the best job you ever had or the most frustrating … depending on your flexibility, team spirit, commitment to clients, and your realistic expectations about what it’s like to work in a fast-paced growing business with a passionate and entrepreneurial owner. Qualifications: You must be able to show evidence of your prior success with: • Business process refinement and systems management to ensure profitable operation of the Firm. • Systems management to ensure matters are handled appropriately so that client needs are met, legal ethical requirements are met, and clients receive excellent service. • Leadership, performance management, and supervision. • Understanding and using common financial reports to make decisions (budget variance, PL, cashflow forecast) Prior legal experience is preferred but not required for the right candidate. If you don’t know how law firms operate and how courts work, you need to commit to getting up to speed quickly because you will be expected to make sure cases and clients are getting the attention they need and that the staff is following the rules. About Company: Cha Law Ethics is a start-up law firm representing attorneys and law students in all aspects of attorney legal matters including California State Bar investigations, formal prosecutions and reinstatements, legal malpractice, and best practices.
