Contract: Independent Contract
Location: 100% Remote
Working Hours: Eastern Standard Time (EST)
Our Firm:
Sterlington PLLC is a full-service law firm focusing on complex corporate, litigation, executive compensation, and private wealth matters. As a firm, we focus on the economic as well as the legal aspects of our matters. Among other strengths, Sterlington is the ultimate law firm for founders, senior executives, and UHNWIs as well as their related businesses. Learn more at: www.sterlingtonlaw.com
The Opportunity
Sterlington is looking for a Legal Operations Practice Manager to implement AI workflows and oversee the execution layer of a Senior Partner's Corporate and M&A practice — a high-volume, high-stakes environment serving founders, executives, and private capital clients on some of the most consequential transactions of their careers. This role sits at the center of the practice, ensuring that complex, multi-party matters progress with clarity, continuity, and control — bringing structure to evolving priorities, maintaining visibility across all active workstreams, and ensuring that commitments, internal and external, are delivered without friction.
You will ensure that the operational dimension of the practice is reliable, anticipatory, and unobtrusive — working in alignment with the broader support infrastructure of the firm, never duplicating it.
What You'll Do:
- AI‑Driven Process Innovation: Drive continuous improvement by refining workflows for greater operational efficiency and scalability, while integrating AI tools in a measured, high‑judgment manner to enhance matter tracking, document summarization, and internal coordination.
- Matter Management: Maintain end-to-end visibility and structured tracking across all active matters — overseeing status, timelines, dependencies, and client-facing commitments within a high-volume transactional practice to ensure clarity and control without unnecessary process overhead.
- Stakeholder Management: Coordinate seamlessly across attorneys, co-counsel, clients, and external counterparties to advance complex, multi-party transactions, while serving as the primary liaison for internal and service-provider stakeholders on behalf of the managing partner—driving follow-through, accountability, and timely escalation where needed.
- Decision Support: Prepare concise, decision-ready matter summaries and status updates that allow the senior partner to act quickly and with confidence and then drive execution for those actions.
- Risk Mitigation: Anticipate gaps, misalignments, and potential delays — and resolve them before they surface.
- AI‑Driven Process Innovation: Drive continuous improvement by refining workflows for greater operational efficiency and scalability, while integrating AI tools in a measured, high‑judgment manner to enhance matter tracking, document summarization, and internal coordination.
- Pipeline Management: Support transaction pipeline visibility and business development follow-through in coordination with the senior partner.
What Success Looks Like
- Full matter visibility established within 30 days: status, timelines, and commitments tracked with precision across the entire practice
- The senior partner operates with complete situational awareness, without having to ask for it
- Manual workflows are replaced by AI-enabled processes
- System scalability is enhanced, and plans for further scalability projects are planned out
- Execution becomes more predictable as complexity and volume grow
What We're Looking For:
- Hands-on AI fluency: You have built and deployed workflows in a professional context
- Experience in practice management, legal operations, or transactional coordination within a law firm or professional services environment
- Legal background preferred: J.D. or equivalent; US corporate and M&A familiarity is a strong plus
- Native or full professional English fluency required
- Structured, systems-oriented mindset: You introduce clarity without over-engineering
At Sterlington, we believe that world-class talent has no boundaries. We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment where unique perspectives are valued and every individual has the opportunity to thrive. We encourage all qualified candidates to apply.
