About the Job

This is not your typical Paralegal/Legal Assistant role and this is not your typical office.

Our client, a highly discreet private family wealth management office of ~20 professionals in Northbrook, IL, managing significant assets and a wide range of investments for this confidential family. Our culture is collaborative, thoughtful, and down-to-earth. We break the mold of traditional legal and financial workplaces, offering meaningful work in a collegial, high-integrity environment where your time and contributions are respected.

This hybrid role supports our General Counsel and Operations Manager. You'll partner closely with the GC, who brings nearly 20 years of experience from Big Law and private office settings. Expect high-level exposure to complex legal and investment matters without the pressure of billable hours. This role is best suited for someone who loves to collaborate and continue to learn. All of the skills are not required, but a great attitude and aptitude are!

Why this position?

• No billable hours. No late nights. True 9-to-5 schedule
• Hybrid work: in-office Tues-Thurs in Northbrook (flexible hours with traffic)
• Exposure to sophisticated legal and investment work as the right hand to the GC
• Collegial, discreet culture with amazing team tenure
• Stability and long-term opportunity in a multi-generational office

Key Responsibilities:

• Draft, review, and manage templated legal documents (NDAs, loan docs, governance materials, etc.)
• Support entity formations, qualifications, dissolutions, and maintain corporate records
• Assist with private investment transactions and preclearance
• Maintain cap tables and ownership schedules for partnerships and LLCs

What you Bring:

• 3-5+ years of paralegal experience (corporate, investment, or private office)
• Highest level of discretion and professionalism
• Calm, proactive mindset with ownership over your work

We'd love to discuss this with you if you're a self-starter with strong organizational skills, excellent judgment, and the ability to manage confidential information with discretion

Full-time employees receive 401(k) match, vacation, holiday pay, and a discretionary bonus.

Salary range: $70K-$110K, commensurate with experience. If this sounds like a strong fit even if you're outside the range we encourage you to apply.
