About Athennian

Athennian is a legal technology company headquartered in Calgary, on a mission to make legal work easier for everyone, including paralegals, law clerks, lawyers, tax professionals, and finance teams. Our cloud based entity management platform is disrupting one of the world's oldest professions, through the use of data, workflow automation, and cloud based technology.

Project details

Our project is to facilitate a smooth transition for a new client from Fast Company to the Athennian software platform. The role of the student(s) will be to review the accuracy of data migrated and make any necessary changes to the data in Athennian. This project will allow students to gain a comprehensive understanding of legal entities, including digital minute books and the databases that create them. There will be a portion of entering fresh data if there are complex share transactions or a history of corporate changes (amendments, continuances, amalgamations). Training and support will be provided from experienced paralegals and law clerks. This project can be completed in a fully remote capacity.

Goals

The goal of this project is to ensure that data is accurately recorded in Athennian for client's use to digitally manage legal entities in the cloud. Additionally, we want to teach students how a modern law firm can manage entities and complete corporate legal work. Time permitting, other real-world training on corporate law could be completed on workflows that paralegals and law clerks execute on a daily basis.

Initial Training

The rewould be 5 hours of initial training that would cover how to complete the task / project. This would include system setup, an explanation of core concepts for corporate law in Canada, and how project management will be executed and tracked on an ongoing basis.

Continuous Support

2 experienced paralegals / law clerks will be available to support and answer questions as they arise on a continuous basis, with a minimum of 2 check-in meetings each week (one team meeting, one 1:1 meeting).

Additional Training

Should the project be completed faster than expected, additional work can be assigned related to corporate law and the daily tasks that law clerks under take. This could include completing annual compliance, incorporations, or other corporate filings that arise.
