Project Coordinator for Legal

For law firms, a Project Coordinator plugs into the intake-to-engagement handoff — taking on project plans and status reports so managing partners and solo attorneys stop carrying the work themselves. They work inside the same tools you already run on, including Asana and ClickUp alongside Clio, and inherit the SOPs your team has already documented.

Why a Project Coordinator fits Legal

Every Project Coordinator we place in legal works against client confidentiality and conflict-of-interest screening. We solve the day-to-day pain law firms feel most: non-billable admin pulling attorneys off matters. They onboard onto your legal stack (typically Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther) inside the first week, with your SOPs as the source of truth.

What ships in the first 30 days

In the first 30 days, your Project Coordinator for Legal ships the weekly project status report (weekly) and the clean pm tool (weekly), plus the recurring work that defines the role: build and maintain project plans, milestones, and dependencies, and run weekly status reporting with risks, blockers, and next steps. Your account manager runs a weekly review against the role's SOP and the legal-specific checklist so quality is measured, not assumed.
