Corporate / Transactional Legal Assistant

StaffBuffalo is working with a well-established, fast-paced law firm in the Buffalo, NY area to hire a Corporate / Transactional Legal Assistant. This is a full-time, fully on-site opportunity offering $25.00–$34.00/hour, depending on experience, with overtime potential and a strong benefits package.

This role is ideal for a highly organized professional who enjoys transactional legal work, detailed document preparation, and supporting sophisticated business matters. You’ll work closely with experienced corporate attorneys on complex transactions, business formations, and agreements — playing a key role in keeping legal processes accurate, organized, and moving efficiently.

The firm values precision, professionalism, and follow-through. If you take pride in strong typing skills, clean documents, and being a reliable support partner to senior attorneys, this role offers stability, challenge, and meaningful exposure to corporate legal work.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support corporate attorneys with transactional legal matters, including buying and selling businesses

  • Assist with business formation work, including LLCs, S-Corps, and filings with the New York State Department of State

  • Draft, revise, format, and proofread legal and operational agreements

  • Prepare and manage high volumes of legal documents and correspondence

  • Maintain organized electronic files and ensure documentation is complete and accurate

  • Track deadlines and assist with workflow management across multiple matters

  • Communicate professionally with attorneys and internal teams to support smooth transactions

Qualifications

  • Experience in a corporate, transactional, or professional office environment preferred

  • Strong typing skills and comfort with heavy document preparation

  • Excellent attention to detail and strong organizational abilities

  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced setting

  • Professional communication skills and dependable work ethic

  • Comfort supporting senior attorneys and handling confidential information

  • Legal assistant or law firm experience is a plus, but not required

Compensation & Benefits

  • Hourly pay: $25.00–$34.00, depending on experience

  • Overtime potential

  • Full single health insurance coverage (firm contributes toward deductible)

  • 401(k) eligibility after one year (6% of compensation)

  • Paid time off that increases with tenure

  • 13 paid holidays, including your birthday

The advertised pay range represents what we believe at the time of this job posting that our client would be willing to pay for this position. Only in special circumstances, where a candidate has education, training, or experience that far exceeds the requirements for the position, would we consider paying higher than the stated range.
