Litigation Legal Assistant – Experienced | Full-Time | Onsite

A respected and established law firm is seeking an experienced Litigation Legal Assistant to join its dynamic team. This is a great opportunity for a detail-oriented, proactive professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is passionate about providing top-tier support to attorneys and clients alike.


About the Role:

As a Litigation Legal Assistant, you’ll play a key role in supporting attorneys through all phases of litigation—from case inception to resolution. You’ll manage administrative tasks, court filings, scheduling, client communications, and document preparation, ensuring every detail is handled with precision and care. This is an opportunity to work alongside a collaborative team where your contributions are valued, and your work makes a direct impact.


What You'll Do:

  • Provide comprehensive administrative support to attorneys throughout the litigation lifecycle

  • Prepare, file, and serve legal documents in compliance with state court (and ideally, federal) filing requirements

  • Coordinate with internal departments (billing, records, conflicts, training, etc.) to move matters forward efficiently

  • Draft, proofread, and edit correspondence and pleadings with high attention to detail

  • Track attorney and client expenses and process reimbursements/payments using firm systems

  • Support client billing: track billable time, manage edits, calendar deadlines, and distribute invoices

  • Schedule court hearings and client appointments in alignment with jurisdictional rules

  • Monitor case deadlines and maintain organized, up-to-date case files (both digital and hard copy)

  • Handle incoming and outgoing correspondence and phone/email communications professionally

  • Assist in planning and coordinating business development events and special projects

Who You Are:

  • A legal support professional with 5+ years of litigation experience in a law firm setting

  • Highly organized, dependable, and capable of managing multiple priorities at once

  • Skilled in state court filing procedures; federal filing experience is a strong plus

  • An excellent communicator (written and verbal) with strong proofreading skills

  • Comfortable working with multiple attorneys and juggling various workflows simultaneously

  • Tech-savvy with strong proficiency in Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel); experience with FileSite, Aderant, CMS, or SmartTime is a bonus

  • Team-oriented and client-service driven—you take initiative, follow through, and care about the quality of your work
