We’re looking for a Superstar Business or Franchise Paralegal with at least 2 – 4+ years of experience that Can Hit The Ground Running!
Does this sound like you?
You enjoy working an employee-centric, team oriented and supportive environment. You enjoy helping ambitious entrepreneurs work towards their personal and professional dreams, and know exactly how you can support them. You have a penchant for developing friendly relationships everywhere you go. You're a team player and you understand that even superstars like Michael Jordan can only get so far by themselves. You have a sickening attention to detail when it comes to preparing and finalizing contracts and other documents, and you probably take great pride in your finished products! Oh, and wouldn't it be great if we topped all of the above off with a great work/life balance?
Business / Franchise Paralegal Position (2 – 4+ yrs of experience)
Do you want to be treated like a professional while you help ambitious and entrepreneurial business owners discover how to create predictable, reliable and profitable businesses?
We are an entrepreneurial business and franchise law firm that is on track for aggressive growth and we need an experienced business or franchise paralegal to join our team and work directly with the owner and lawyers to support the team and help our entrepreneurial clients.
We want to be known for helping our clients get the legal assistance and business guidance they need to successfully launch, manage and grow their business or franchise, while learning how to become a better business owner, in a better position, and knowing that they had a team behind them that really cares about their personal and professional goals and priorities. We’re not just lawyers… we’re our client’s trusted business advisors and we go the extra mile to help them reach their goals. We are growing fast, and we need a business / franchise paralegal who can hit the ground running with minimal supervision!
This position will be responsible for important work, including:
Managing and updating our precedent database with new types of contracts and new types of custom-drafted clauses.
If the statements below appeal to you, then you may be our next business / franchise paralegal!
We love to help people learn and grow. But we don’t have the time for that right now. We need a business / franchise paralegal with at least 2 – 4+ years of experience working with traditional businesses, franchisees and franchisors, in asset and share purchase transactions, and a wide range of other general business services (such as commercial contracts, leasing arrangements, and shareholders agreements). The ideal candidate will be able to take initiative on work that needs to be done and complete tasks with minimal hand holding.
You will initially be brought in at approximately 20 – 30 hours per week and then gradually ramped up to full-time where you will be expected to manage a caseload. The position is virtual, with the possibility of hybrid in-person at some point in the future. Salary is expected to be $40,000 – $80,000, commensurate with experience and workload. There is an opportunity for bonus compensation for those who can demonstrate their profitability as well.

If you meet those standards, and you help our ambitious clients achieve their goals, then you will be rewarded both financially and professionally. And guess what? You’ll still have time on the weekends to hang out with your family and kids. Even if you don’t have kids, that’s cool too. Perhaps you’ll want that time to spend with your friends or having some fun, because we understand that everyone needs time for that as well.
