Legal Coordinator

Edwards Law | Atlanta, GA (Buckhead) — Hybrid Part-Time to start (growing to Full-Time), Non-Exempt (Hourly), W-2 | $18.00-$20.00/hour starting rate, with advancement opportunity at 6–12 months for strong performers

About the Role

Edwards Law is a boutique Atlanta firm focused on residential real estate closings, estate planning, and probate. We're a small, precision-oriented practice — every matter we handle has real consequences for real people, and we treat our work accordingly. We're hiring a Legal Coordinator to own the administrative and coordination layer across all three practice areas. This is not a single-function role: real responsibility, growing autonomy, and a clear path forward.

What You'll Do

Real Estate Closings

• Coordinate pre-closing tasks: title, payoffs, HOA letters, lender communication
• Prepare preliminary settlement statements for attorney review
• Manage Qualia task lists and document organization across all active files
• Handle post-closing tasks: recording confirmation, client surveys, review outreach

Estate Planning

• Coordinate client intake: send questionnaires, collect documents, follow up on outstanding items
• Prepare document execution packages and coordinate signing meetings
• Manage client communications regarding scheduling, document status, and next steps

Probate

• Track court deadlines and coordinate document filings
• Prepare and send correspondence to heirs, financial institutions, and third parties
• Monitor active probate files and flag outstanding items before they become problems

Schedule & Work Environment

Hybrid, based at our Buckhead office, Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM. The role begins at approximately 20 hours/week, growing toward 35–40 hours/week based on performance. In-office presence is required on days when closings are scheduled, and 2–3 days/week in-office is required during the initial training period.

Compensation & Benefits

• $18.00-$20.00/hour starting rate, with advancement opportunity at 6–12 months for strong performers
• Begins at approximately 20 hours/week, growing toward 35–40 hours/week based on performance
• Health insurance eligible after a 90-day introductory period, with firm contribution toward the monthly premium
• Major federal holidays observed

What We're Looking For

Required:

• Bachelor's degree preferred; equivalent professional experience in legal, real estate, title, estate planning, or financial services will be considered in lieu of a degree
• Demonstrated ability to work independently and manage competing priorities without daily supervision
• Exceptional attention to detail — this is a precision-based role
• Successful completion of a post-offer background check (financial crimes, felonies, and crimes involving theft or deceit are disqualifying)

Preferred:

• Prior experience in a law firm, title company, or real estate closing environment
• Experience with Qualia, DocuSign, or Google Workspace
• Active Georgia notary commission (the firm will sponsor credentialing for an otherwise strong candidate who doesn't have one)
