About the Role

We’re hiring a Legal Document Automation Specialist to support a national law firm’s Charlotte-based team. This is a high-level documentation support role focused on complex document production and template automation within a transactional legal environment. This person will work closely with attorneys and legal teams to streamline workflows and ensure high-quality output across various legal projects.

What You’ll Do

• Format, edit, and prepare legal transactional documents including agreements, closing binders, and related financing materials

• Create, update, and maintain automated templates in Microsoft Word and/or legal automation platforms

• Collaborate with legal teams to implement custom automation solutions and improve document workflows

• Ensure quality control through detailed proofreading and formatting

• Troubleshoot technical issues in document production and provide hands-on support

• Adhere to strict confidentiality and security protocols in handling legal files

What You Bring

• Experience supporting legal teams, preferably in transactional, finance, or real estate law

• Advanced Microsoft Word skills including styles, formatting, macros, and tracked changes

• Familiarity with document automation platforms such as Contract Express, HotDocs, or equivalent

• Experience with legal document management systems (NetDocuments preferred)

• Strong organizational and multitasking skills in fast-paced, high-volume environments

• Excellent grammar, spelling, and proofreading skills

• Ability to work independently and collaborate professionally with attorneys and staff

• Tech-savvy with a willingness to learn new tools and systems

Why This Role Stands Out

• Specialized focus on legal automation and process optimization

• Part of a high-performing documentation team supporting nationally recognized legal talent

• Opportunity to drive efficiencies in document-heavy transactional practice areas

• Stable, established legal environment with long-term career growth potential

If you're a document production professional with deep Word expertise and a passion for automation, this role offers the chance to do impactful work in a busy, respected legal team.
