Trial Readiness Specialist

Every successful trial begins long before the jury enters the courtroom. 

Our firm is building a culture of trial readiness.  We believe exceptional trial results are driven by exceptional preparation. To support that vision, we are investing in a dedicated Trial Team that partners with our trial lawyers to prepare cases with intention, organization, and the strategic use of technology.

This is not a traditional paralegal position.  It is a specialized role for someone who enjoys solving problems, thrives on organization, embraces technology, and wants to play a meaningful role in preparing cases for trial.

Essential Functions:

• Work directly with lead trial counsel throughout the trial preparation process.

• Conduct comprehensive trial readiness audits to identify gaps in proof, discovery, witnesses, exhibits, and other trial preparation needs.

• Coordinate with attorneys, paralegals, litigation assistants, investigators, experts, and vendors to ensure critical tasks are completed.

• Organize and maintain digital trial files and supporting databases.

• Prepare witness files, exhibit lists, deposition designations, demonstrative evidence, and trial notebooks.

• Assist in developing timelines, witness summaries, demonstrative evidence, and other materials used to prepare and present cases at trial.

• Prepare courtroom presentation materials and provide technology support during trial.

• Assist with the implementation, and refining technology-driven workflows that improve how our trial team prepares cases, including the thoughtful use of AI and litigation technology.

• Other duties as assigned.
