Litigation Paralegal (BG)

Litigation Assistant

Hybrid

Sometimes, the job you want… actually wants something back.

Not just hours. Not just filings. Not just “support.”

Impact.

Our client is not your typical labor & employment litigation firm. This is a place where attorneys don’t just argue cases—they advocate, organize, and show up. The firm represents unions, is unionized, and attracts people who care about the bigger picture.

Translation: the work matters, the people are sharp, and the culture isn’t lip service.

And now, they’re looking for a Litigation Assistant / Case Manager who can run the engine behind the scenes—and occasionally keep a few attorneys on track (with charm, of course).

What You’ll Actually Do as a Litigation Legal Assistant (a lot, and it matters)

This is not a “sit back and take notes” role. This is case command central.

• Own case management from soup to verdict—multiple complex matters, multiple moving parts
• Build Excel spreadsheets that actually do things—pivot tables, formulas, data analysis
• Calendar like a pro—deadlines, filings, moving pieces
• Handle e-filings across state, federal, and agencies like NLRB, PERB, EDD, and more
• Research court rules and filing requirements (because details win cases)
• Prep pleadings, motions, exhibits, binders—trial-ready, always
• Manage trial dockets and court correspondence
• Use Westlaw, Lexis, BNA, and tools like Litera for redlining
• Handle Bates stamping and maintain detailed Excel reports

In short: if it touches the case, it touches you.

What Makes You a Fit as a Litigation Legal Assistant

• Experienced Litigation Assistant who thrives in organized chaos
• Strong Excel skills (not “I opened it once”—real skills)
• Comfortable juggling multiple deadlines without dropping the ball—or your sense of humor
• Spanish speaking? That’s a serious plus

Why This Role Stands Out

• Mission-driven work—representing unions and workers
• Progressive, activist-minded attorneys who actually walk the walk
• Low turnover (people stay—and that says everything)
• A genuinely supportive, respectful culture
• Growth opportunities—not just a job, a path
• And let’s talk benefits:

Up to 12% of salary in benefits. Yes, really.

The Bottom Line

This is for someone who wants to be trusted, relied on, and maybe just a little indispensable.

If that sounds like your kind of role, this might be worth a conversation.
