Paralegal / Legal Assistant

McQuillan & Hohman Law / Alaska Immigration Law Center

Anchorage, Alaska | Full-Time | In Person

Build a legal career with a firm that is growing, energetic, team-focused, and serious about helping people — while still making room for a real life in Alaska.

We are looking for an experienced Paralegal or Legal Assistant who wants meaningful work, a fun and supportive team, excellent benefits, and real room to grow with a law firm in planned expansion. If you want a fun and engaged team, a work that understands you have a life outside of work, and an opportunity to meaningful work this is the place for you.

Why This Role Stands Out

· You will join a growing Alaska law firm that is currently going through planned expansion, with substantial opportunity for long-term growth.

· You will be part of a fun, energetic office that values teamwork, professionalism, and a healthy work-life balance.

· You will work closely with attorneys on immigration, probate, and estate planning matters, and we value strong candidates from any legal practice area.

· You will have the chance to build a lasting role with a firm that invests in its people and wants talented team members to grow with us.

What You’ll Do

· Support attorneys with case management, document preparation, filing, calendaring, and client communication.

· Draft correspondence, forms, pleadings, probate filings, estate planning materials, and other legal documents.

· Assist with organizing files, preparing hearing and court materials, and keeping matters moving efficiently.

· Communicate professionally with clients, courts, agencies, and outside contacts.

· Help create an excellent client experience through responsiveness, organization, and attention to detail.

· Grow into a key member of a collaborative legal team that values initiative and reliability.

What We’re Looking For

· At least 2 years of experience as a legal assistant or paralegal in any area of legal practice.

· Strong organizational skills, follow-through, and attention to detail.

· Clear written and verbal communication skills.

· Professionalism, judgment, and the ability to manage multiple priorities.

· A positive, team-oriented approach and willingness to learn.

Huge plus: experience in probate, family law, or immigration.

Compensation

Recommended posted pay range: $45,000 - $70,000 DOE.

This range is designed to be competitive for Anchorage while still grounded for a full-time, in-person paralegal/legal assistant role. It can be adjusted upward if you want to compete more aggressively for candidates with directly relevant probate, family law, or immigration experience.

Benefits

· Unlimited paid time off

· Retirement plan with dollar-for-dollar employer match up to the federal limit

· Paid training

· Paid classes when needed

· Regular bonuses

· A team-first culture with strong support and room to grow

· Employee development program

Why Alaska

Anchorage offers a rare mix of career opportunity and lifestyle. This is a place where you can do meaningful work, be part of a growing legal team, and still have time for the mountains, trails, long summer evenings, winter lights, travel, family, and community. We believe in life outside the office, and we believe great work is better when people have the space to actually enjoy where they live.
