Careers

Keck Legal, LLC is a growing commercial litigation and bankruptcy law firm located near I-85 and North Druid Hills in Atlanta. We are seeking a full-time, in-office Executive Legal Assistant to work directly with the firm’s Managing Attorney. This role is ideal for someone early in their career who is smart, tech-savvy, highly motivated, and eager to learn how a law firm actually operates. Prior law firm or executive assistant experience is not required. We care far more about initiative, curiosity, and follow-through than resumes. This is a hands-on, high-interaction role. The Executive Legal Assistant will be seated near the Managing Attorney’s office and is expected to stay closely engaged throughout the day—asking questions, interrupting when necessary, and helping keep work moving forward. This role is not a fit for someone who waits to be told what to do.

• Coordinate communication between the Managing Attorney, staff, and clients
• Prepare, organize, and follow up on documents, correspondence, and projects

• Identify problems, inefficiencies, or loose ends and take ownership of resolving them

Required Qualifications

• Exceptional organization, attention to detail, and follow-through
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Comfort working in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities
• Willingness to ask questions, interrupt when needed, and stay closely engaged
• Curiosity and comfort learning new technology, tools, and systems
• Proficiency with Microsoft Outlook, Word, and Excel

• Motivated by helping a busy professional stay organized and effective
• Interested in gaining hands-on law firm and legal operations experience

Preferred (Not Required)

• Bilingual (Spanish)

Compensation & Benefits

• Paid holidays and paid time off
• Health insurance options available for full-time employees
• Significant hands-on training and professional development
• Opportunity for rapid growth, increased responsibility, and compensation as skills and independence increase
