The Houston office seeks a Senior Legal Executive Assistant to support a senior transactional partner with significant leadership roles and business development activities. This one-on-one support role involves strategic, high-level administrative assistance, focusing on proactive practice and leadership management rather than transactional tasks. Responsibilities include managing the partner’s email, coordinating strategic travel with business development goals, assisting in client onboarding and billing, and handling complex administrative tasks such as scheduling, expense reports, and correspondence. The assistant will work closely with the partner to prioritize and streamline practice operations, collaborating with departments like Marketing, Finance, and Conflicts to support overall business objectives.

The role requires strong proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to independently manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment. Exceptional communication skills and a collaborative mindset are essential, as is the flexibility to respond quickly and work outside business hours when needed. This position requires a “24/7 mindset” and adaptability, with four days in-office and occasional additional onsite support based on business demands. The ideal candidate is a self-starter, skilled at anticipating needs, taking initiative, and maintaining a high level of discretion and integrity with sensitive information.
