How to hire a legal assistant

It can be difficult to choose the right Legal Assistant for your firm. Explore our Legal Assistant Hiring Guide, or check out our recommended interview questions below

Do you have experience using firm management software?

Look out for experience in document management software, case management software, CRMs, Microsoft Office, and any other software you use at your firm such as Clio, MyCase, LexisNexis, and Smokeball.

How do you deal with difficult or demanding clients?

Legal Assistants need to be able to communicate with many different types of people about sensitive subject matter, making it the top soft skill to look out for when interviewing your candidates.

Which areas of law do you have experience with?

While most Legal Assistant skills are transferrable, you may still want to evaluate whether their previous experience is applicable to your role, especially in highly specialized firms.

Hiring a Legal Assistant vs. a Paralegal

Knowing whether to hire a paralegal or a legal assistant is crucial for your firm. A paralegal performs substantive legal work like research, drafting, and case prep, while a legal assistant focuses on administrative duties (scheduling, filing, phones) with general office skills. The key difference is the depth of legal involvement and required qualifications: paralegals handle legal analysis, assistants handle office flow.
