Remote US Paralegal Assistant

John Galt Services provides expert remote paralegal assistance for US law firms.

As a John Galt employee, you are FAR more than a voice on a phone! You are legal professional who is perfectly fluent in English. You will be fully integrated as a remote member of our customer's legal team, with broad responsibilities and a great deal of trust.

We ONLY hire the most talented young professionals… because we believe in you!

Tasks & Responsibilities

1. Learn our customer's practice and the related body of law & regulation well enough to support it in detail.
2. Plug into our customer's existing operational systems.
3. Function as a member of our customer's legal team, supporting operations and completing “overnight” tasking as required.
4. Take on other responsibilities as needed.
5. Some of our clients purchase half-time resources. You may be assigned to two of these, in which case you will be dividing your time between two teams.

Salary & Benefits

You are a highly educated, experienced legal professional who speaks English fluently. We will pay you accordingly.

New associates start at a probationary pay scale of IDR 10 jt / month gross (i.e. before taxes & benefits). You will spend your first month learning our customer's practice and integrating with their systems.

If we retain you past the first month, your pay will increase to IDR 12 jt / month gross.

You will be evaluated by the same metrics our customer uses to evaluate their own team. We will pay a 50% bonus for any month in which you are evaluated in the top 20% of the customer's team by these metrics! This would bring your pay to IDR 18 jt / month gross.

We also reserve a large pool of funds for staff perks, events & annual bonuses. If we are happy with your work, you will be VERY happy with your choice!

Also, our office is just minutes from the beach in Canggu, Bali. If you know, you know!

Job Requirements

1. PERFECT ENGLISH FLUENCY! Minimal accent. We aren't kidding about this one. If you aren't sure, then you aren't ready.
2. PREVIOUS US PARALEGAL EXPERIENCE! No exceptions, but we will accept experience in any US state.
3. Patience, an engaging personality, and a desire to contribute to a winning team.
4. The ability to learn quickly and an aptitude for problem-solving.
5. Live within commuting distance of Canggu, Bali, or are willing to relocate.
6. You are supporting our customer remotely, but this is NOT a remote job! We will provide working space and equipment in Canggu, Bali. All work is performed on-site.

Work Visas

John Galt Services does NOT sponsor work visas! All candidates must be legally authorized to work in Indonesia.

Good question! Might help to show up at your interview with an answer.

IMPORTANT!

1. To be considered for this position, you MUST attach an English-language cover letter—in ADDITION to your resume—that CLEARLY describes your experience supporting a US-based attorney as a paralegal.
2. No such experience means we cannot use you and will not consider your application.
3. No such cover letter means you failed the attention-to-detail test and we will not consider your application.
4. No exceptions!
