What does a bilingual legal assistant do?

Bilingual legal assistants keep your firm running for Spanish-speaking clients. They handle the phones, calendars, intake and paperwork, so clients get answers in their own language and your attorneys and paralegals stay focused on case work.

  • Answer calls and respond to messages from clients in Spanish and English.
  • Conduct intake calls, qualify new leads and open new matters.
  • Schedule consultations, appointments and court dates, and send reminders.
  • Give clients regular case status updates.
  • Collect documents, IDs, medical records and signatures from clients.
  • Translate routine correspondence, forms and client instructions.
  • Maintain client records in your CRM and case management software.
  • Prepare invoices, track payments and manage client billing records.
  • Support attorneys and paralegals with filing, organization and document preparation.

Specialties

Our bilingual legal assistants support Spanish-speaking clients across the practice areas where language matters most.

Bilingual Legal Assistant skills & qualifications

Bilingual legal assistants don't need a law degree, though many have legal or law school backgrounds. Clear, professional communication in both languages matters most.

  • Fluency in Spanish and professional English, written and spoken.
  • Warm, professional phone manner with clients.
  • Understanding of fundamental legal processes and terminology.
  • Strong organization, scheduling and data entry skills.
  • Competency in software like Clio, MyCase, Smokeball and common CRMs.

How to hire a bilingual legal assistant

Language skills are easy to claim and harder to prove. Use these interview questions to check both the phone manner and the Spanish your clients will hear.

Can you take me through an intake call in Spanish?

Role-play a first call from a new client in Spanish. Listen for a warm, professional tone, clear questions and accurate notes, since this is exactly what your clients will experience.

How do you handle difficult or emotional callers?

Bilingual legal assistants are often the first voice a client hears. Ask how they handle anxious, upset or confused callers, and when they escalate to an attorney.

How do you keep track of multiple clients and deadlines?

Ask how they track deadlines, appointments and outstanding client documents across many open matters at once.

Which software have you used?

Look out for experience in the CRM and case management software your firm already uses, such as Clio, MyCase, Smokeball or CasePeer.
