Full job description
Are you looking for:
A firm where your work is substantive, your contributions are valued, and your growth is supported?
A stable, people-focused workplace with long-tenured colleagues, accessible leadership, and a year-end bonus opportunity?
Strong benefits from day one and a culture that respects your life outside the office?
Let Us Introduce Ourselves
Lippes Mathias is one of the nation's 200 largest law firms, with 400 professionals across 17 offices nationwide, including 230 attorneys. We've built a full-service business law practice with a national footprint and deep roots in each community we serve by investing in people who want to grow alongside the firm.
Joining our team means stepping into a culture that prioritizes accessible leadership, meaningful growth opportunities, and a work environment that respects your life outside the office. Support for our employees is something we take very seriously. In fact, "supportive" was the top word our employees used to describe our work environment on a recent anonymous survey.
We recognize that our firm would grind to a halt without the steadfast work of professionals like you, and that's why we've made it our commitment to cultivate and maintain an environment where you feel seen and supported. You'll work as a member of a team, not just for one.
If you're considering a move and wondering whether it's worth it, we'd like to make the case that it is. If you've been looking for a firm where the quality of the culture is surpassed only by the quality of the work, you may have found it.
Why You'll Love Working Here
We offer competitive pay, a year-end bonus opportunity, and a comprehensive benefits package that includes:
Medical, dental & vision, beginning your first month
Immediate eligibility for 401(k) and profit-sharing plan
Paid parental leave
Long-term disability (firm-paid)
Life/AD&D insurance
For roles at our downtown locations, firm-arranged parking is available. We also keep the break room stocked with complimentary snacks and beverages.

Prepare memoranda to open new matters
Create and maintain electronic directories and physical files
Drafts documents for attorney review, redact, edit, and proofread documents as requested
Prepare and send out correspondence
Communicate with clients surrounding scheduling and status updates
Save, print, and file document submissions
Maintain close files and follow up on outstanding items

Provide other administrative and clerical support as needed
