Cover Letter for the Position of Legal Assistant

I am very pleased to apply for the Legal Assistant position at (name of the company). Working at your firm would be a dream come true, and I have wanted to become a legal assistant for a long time.

It all started with me sitting in an office waiting for my father. Right next to me sat a legal assistant of the firm. A person came to her with an issue that seemed impossible to solve. She, however, looked through the files and came up with a solution. The person was surprised and thanked her for the support.

However, it might not seem very important as most people do their jobs and help others. However, this specific incident was particular to me as most people do not know how the legal system works. I have seen people who seem to know everything in the world but have zero knowledge about the legal system of their own country. By opting to be a legal assistant, I would be helping people in distress.

Your company (name of the company) is famous for taking the most challenging and complicated cases. I recently read about your company, and the Head of the company (name of the person) mentioned that their company works on the motto of helping people in need. He further stated in his interview in (name of the magazine) that his company gives priority to the people who either do not have enough money to pay to the law firms who have big names in the market or their case was rejected by those big names just because their case was complicated to win in the court. Although many companies, while taking the cases, make the company’s reputation their priority, losing a more significant number of cases could potentially defame the company.

It was a pleasant surprise to hear someone say that their company makes its clients their priority. To be brutally honest, this was the point that made me crave to work for your company.

When I saw the advertisement that your company was looking for a person for the position of Legal Assistant, I knew I had to apply. The ad on your official website states that your company has asked every applicant with a degree in (name of the subject) and experience (number of years) up his sleeve. I am proud to state that I have the required educational background and massive expertise (number of years). This experience has helped me improve my skills and abilities.

I completed my bachelor’s degree with a distinction in (name of the subject). After completing my bachelor’s, I was admitted to (name of the University) for my postgraduate degree in (name of the subject). Throughout my education, I have always had a positive attitude towards criticism. This has helped me immensely during my tenure as a Legal Assistant at (name of the company).

I started as a Legal Assistant in (name of the company) in (year). I have worked on approximately (number of cases) single-handedly and in a team. I have experience leading a team to complete a project and working in a team under someone else’s leadership. Therefore, I know both how to give orders and how to take orders.

In conclusion, I would like to thank you for considering my application for the Legal Assistant position at (name of the company). I would be honored to work with your company’s employees.
