Software Proficiency

Preferred Qualifications:

We are looking for candidates who possess the following:

A genuine interest in the legal field. A willingness to learn about real estate, business, and wills and estates law.

Advanced in Microsoft Office and Google Workspace tools. Advanced organizational skills with keen attention to detail. Tech-savviness and adaptability to new tools.

Who We Are:

Winright Law is a mid-sized firm inclusive of a growing team of lawyers, legal assistants, marketing and support staff. We practice business, real estate, and estate planning law.

We do not work in a traditional law setting. We took a page out of tech start-ups, who we think have it right, and work in an open space concept where lawyers and staff can bounce ideas off each other, seek guidance and mentorship when needed, and have the flexibility of working from any of the desks, break-out rooms, or on our patio.

At Winright Law, you will become part of this culture and part of a fast-paced, passionate and dedicated team that works together to provide our clients with the highest possible level of service and advice. Our mission is to lead, inspire, and provide a better legal experience.

Thank you to all applicants for your interest. Please note that only candidates selected for interview will be contacted.
