Equivity is looking for a part-time virtual paralegal with recent experience supporting attorneys in a transactional law practice. We are looking for paralegals with at least three years of experience in transactional law, including drafting agreements relating to commercial real estate transactions and/or small business acquisitions and handling closings for commercial real estate transactions. If you have recent (within the last six months) experience supporting a diverse array of transactional practices and have previously assisted attorneys remotely, we want to hear from you!

Virtual paralegals at Equivity develop a portfolio of clients supporting a number of different attorneys. We are currently seeking a virtual paralegal with at least three years of experience specifically in transactional work. You must have experience with drafting and reviewing contracts, preparing agreements relating to the sale and lease of commercial real estate, drafting corporate and stock/asset purchase agreements, and forming and maintaining business entities. Additional experience with real estate transactions, handling mergers and acquisitions, handling securities and Blue Sky filings, and/or IP licenses would be a definite plus. The ideal candidate will be very technologically adept and have excellent Word, Outlook, Google Docs, and Adobe skills. In addition, the candidate should have experience working with cloud-based practice management software, such as Clio or PC Law.

More about our company:

Equivity matches clients with virtual assistants that provide long-term paralegal, administrative and marketing support. Our virtual paralegals work with a high degree of autonomy and are responsible for developing lasting relationships with our clients. Because we provide extremely attentive service to our clients, you must be available to respond to client communications throughout the business day (Monday through Friday, 9am – 6pm Pacific or Eastern Time Zone) within one hour by email, phone, and text. You should also be available to complete tasks and work on projects during the business day. All of this work is done remotely, meaning that you can work from home.

The selected candidate would be hired as a part-time employee (W2) of Equivity, not an independent contractor (1099). We are looking for somebody who has at least 20 hours per week of availability, and the starting pay is $18.50 per hour. We are a growing business and are looking for a virtual paralegal who is excited to partner with us and is interested in a long-term role with our company.
