Legal Administrator

Department: Office Administration

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: Houston/Corporate

Reporting To: Bryan Fagan

Description

The Law Office of Bryan Fagan is a firm that excels in family, estate planning & probate, and criminal law matters. We have (16) offices in Texas: (2) offices in Houston (Corporate and The Heights,) and (1) office in Abilene, Atascocita, Austin, Humble, Kingwood, Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth, Galveston, Richmond, Rockwall, San Antonio, The Woodlands and Victoria and more on the way!

We are a premier, rapidly scaling law firm ($25M+ heading to $30M+) that grows through robust, standardized systems rather than individual heroics. To support our multi-location expansion across Texas, we are adding a top-tier operating executive to lead all firm-wide non-legal operations.

This is a pure operations leadership role with zero legal counsel, case strategy, or attorney-supervision authority. As the Executive Legal Administrator, you will serve as the single accountable executive for our business operations, directly managing 7 key department managers (Intake/Sales, Marketing, Billing/Collections, HR, Facilities/IT, Finance, and Office Administration).

If you are a metrics-driven operations leader who excels at scaling multi-unit operations and managing other managers, this is your opportunity to drive high-level strategy and execution in a highly successful firm.

• Leadership: Proven track record of managing managers, hiring, developing, and leading high-performing business leaders.
