Legal Assistants are legal professionals who support attorneys on active case work: preparing and filing court documents, conducting legal research, drafting motions and contracts, and managing case files from intake through trial. They sit a step above a virtual assistant in scope and handle substantive, matter-level work.

Look out for experience in document management software, case management software, CRMs, Microsoft Office, and any other software you use at your firm such as Clio, MyCase, LexisNexis, and Smokeball.
Legal Assistants need to be able to communicate with many different types of people about sensitive subject matter, making it the top soft skill to look out for when interviewing your candidates.
While most Legal Assistant skills are transferrable, you may still want to evaluate whether their previous experience is applicable to your role, especially in highly specialized firms.
Knowing whether to hire a paralegal or a legal assistant is crucial for your firm. A paralegal performs substantive legal work like research, drafting, and case prep, while a legal assistant focuses on administrative duties (scheduling, filing, phones) with general office skills. The key difference is the depth of legal involvement and required qualifications: paralegals handle legal analysis, assistants handle office flow.
