Boyer Law Firm, P.L. is seeking a full-time, remote Legal Assistant based in Antananarivo, Madagascar, requiring daily collaboration with U.S. Eastern Time. This role demands a nine-hour workday, Monday through Friday, with a one-hour midday break, and a four-hour overlap with the U.S. team. Due to U.S. daylight saving changes (not observed in Madagascar), the schedule shifts annually: 11:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m. during U.S. summer (mid-March to early November) and 12:00 p.m.–9:00 p.m. during U.S. winter (early November to mid-March). The position is structured into two phases: a focused, independent morning dedicated to research, drafting, and file management, followed by an interactive afternoon for real-time communication, meetings, and seamless handoffs to the U.S. team.
Autres informations
As a U.S.-based international law firm headquartered in Florida, Boyer Law serves clients across multiple jurisdictions in areas such as international law, business law, immigration, real estate, civil and business litigation, and family law. The firm operates bilingually in French and English daily, with a diverse team spanning various countries, cultures, and languages.
We seek a highly autonomous legal professional—whether a paralegal, jurist, or attorney—residing in Madagascar, eager to specialize in U.S. and international law. Ideal candidates will demonstrate critical thinking by identifying inconsistencies in legal documents, analytical rigor by thoroughly assessing client matters and legal issues, and independent work habits by advancing files without constant supervision. They must proactively manage time zones, using the quiet morning hours for substantive work and the afternoon overlap to resolve questions, validate findings, and transfer completed tasks. Fluency in both French and English is essential, as is the ability to draft legal documents, correspond with clients, and translate materials between the two languages.
Responsibilities include:
Drafting, reviewing, and managing legal documents and correspondence in French and English; conducting legal research and preparing memoranda under attorney supervision; overseeing case files from intake to closure, including deadlines, filings, evidence, and client documentation; direct client communication via phone, email, and video (with many francophone clients); preparing immigration petitions, corporate filings, contracts, and litigation documents; coordinating with U.S. courts, government agencies, and opposing counsel
