Legal Receptionist

Sweeney Merrigan Law is growing, and we’re on the hunt for a versatile legal receptionist to answer phone calls, and handle various administrative tasks such as sorting mail and ordering supplies.

Your duties may also include scheduling appointments, handling inquiries, and managing outbound mail. You may also be required to assist with filing certain materials such as client documents and medical imagery. Are you naturally good at troubleshooting computer, software, or other common office tech issues? Make sure you let us know!

We’re looking for the ideal team player: someone who is humble, hungry for success in their role, and exhibits “people smarts”. You’ll need to be friendly and outgoing, able to make an instant connection, but also assertive and aware of when a call needs to be forwarded or a conversation respectfully concluded. If you’re someone who takes initiative, eagerly helps others, and is excited to help make our office an even more efficient and smooth-running place to work, we want to hear from you!
