Litigation Assistant

Hybrid

Must have at least 4 yrs. civil litigation exp.


Sometimes your dream job just walks into court… and hands you a perfectly tabbed binder.


Our client, a highly respected law firm, is looking for a Litigation Practice Assistant (LPA) who thrives in the organized chaos of litigation and knows how to keep everything—and everyone—on track. This is not a “sit quietly and type” role. This is mission control.


What You’ll Actually Do (aka Where You Shine) as a Litigation Assistant

  • Draft, revise, and polish everything from pleadings to PowerPoints (yes, even the last-minute “can you just tweak this?” requests)
  • Format court filings like a pro using CCC Macros and Best Authority—tables of contents and authorities included, of course
  • Navigate local, state, and federal court rules without breaking a sweat
  • Handle e-filing and ensure documents land exactly where they need to
  • Coordinate service of process, subpoenas
  • Build impeccable case files and binders—because details matter
  • Partner with Records to maintain clean, accessible files (no document left behind)
  • Support municipal law matters—staff reports, ordinances, agendas, and more


What you bring to the table as a Litigation Assistant:

  • At least 4 years of civil litigation experience, preferably from a law firm
  • Construction experience is preferred


If the idea of running a litigation desk like a well-oiled machine sounds appealing, this may be the role that finally gets noticed for all the right reasons.

Let’s talk.
