Commercial Litigation Legal Assistant

West Palm Beach, FL 33401

Fully onsite

Direct-Hire | Full-time

Salary: $70,000 to $85,000 DOE

LHH Recruitment Solutions is partnering with a well-regarded full-service regional law firm to identify a Commercial Litigation Legal Assistant to support a small, high-performing team in West Palm Beach.

This is a hands-on role within a close-knit office environment, offering strong autonomy and the opportunity to take ownership of your work. The team is seeking a reliable, detail-oriented professional who can operate with minimal oversight while maintaining a high level of accuracy and follow-through.

Key Responsibilities:

• Proactively manage attorney calendars, deadlines, and scheduling
• Prepare, draft, edit, format, and proofread legal correspondence, pleadings, discovery, and routine motions
• Handle Florida state and federal e-filing (including applicable portals and CM/ECF/PACER)
• Assist with docketing, service lists, notices, and confirmations
• Prepare and issue subpoenas and coordinate the request and tracking of medical records
• Open new client matters, conduct conflict checks, and maintain organized case files
• Manage incoming email, faxes, and physical mail
• Support hearings, depositions, mediations, and trial preparation, including assembling binders and exhibits
• Review and enter attorney time for accuracy
• Prepare and process pre-bills, invoices, expense reports, and reimbursements
• Coordinate travel, meetings, and provide general administrative support in a small office setting

Required Qualifications:

• 2+ years of recent civil litigation legal assistant experience required
• Background in commercial litigation strongly preferred (family law, criminal law, workers’ compensation, and most personal injury experience will not align with this practice)
• Insurance defense or medical malpractice defense experience strongly preferred
• Experience supporting multiple attorneys in a fast-paced law firm environment
• Proven experience with Florida state and federal e-filing
• Strong understanding of litigation processes and document management
• High attention to detail with strong proofreading skills
• Ability to work independently with limited supervision
• Professional, client-focused communication skills
• Comfortable supporting a small office with blended legal and administrative responsibilities

This is an excellent opportunity for a self-sufficient legal professional seeking a stable role with meaningful responsibility and direct impact on a small team.

If this sounds aligned with your background, or someone in your network, I would welcome a conversation.

Benefits:

Depending on the specific client, location, and role, benefits may include PTO, medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability coverage, additional voluntary benefits, employee assistance programs, wellness offerings, and a 401(k) or similar retirement plan. Paid leave and holiday eligibility may apply in accordance with applicable laws. Bonus eligibility is based on company and/or individual performance.
