Legal Assistant Onboarding Checklist

This checklist outlines the onboarding process for a new legal assistant at a law firm. It covers pre-boarding tasks such as sending a welcome email, providing necessary paperwork, and setting up IT accounts. The first day includes introductions, IT setup, and an overview of the firm's case management system. The first week involves completing HR paperwork, attending training sessions, and shadowing experienced assistants. Over the first three months, the new hire will gradually take on more responsibilities, receive regular feedback, and participate in continuing education opportunities. The process culminates in a final probation review at the end of three months.
