- Manage calendars and deadlines, including court dates, hearings, depositions, and internal case milestones.
- Coordinate logistics for depositions, hearings, and trials, including scheduling, travel, filings, and exhibits.
- Organize and maintain electronic and physical case files with exceptional attention to detail.
- Track case progress and follow up with attorneys and clients to ensure next steps are completed on time.
- Serve as a professional point of contact for clients, courts, and opposing counsel as appropriate.
- Support billing, time entry, and other administrative processes as needed.
What We’re Looking For
- Exceptional organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a deadline-driven environment.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a high level of accuracy and professionalism.
- Tech-savvy and eager to learn new systems, litigation tools, and processes.
- Curious, proactive, and comfortable taking initiative and problem-solving independently.
- Ability to remain calm, focused, and resilient under pressure.
- A collaborative team player who values accountability, responsiveness, and strong client service.
- Prior legal administrative experience is preferred, particularly in litigation, but we are open to candidates early in their careers who demonstrate strong work ethic and a genuine interest in the legal field.
