Can You Walk Into a Law Firm and Instantly See What's Working...and What's Not?

A respected boutique litigation firm in Downtown Los Angeles is looking for an accomplished Litigation Paralegal Supervisor—or a highly accomplished senior litigation paralegal with exceptional leadership instincts—for a short-term consulting engagement (approximately 30–60 days).


This is not a traditional paralegal role.

Our client is seeking someone who can step into an active litigation environment, quickly earn the trust of attorneys and staff, and identify opportunities to improve workflow, productivity, communication, delegation, and technology utilization. Think part litigation expert, part operations strategist, part legal-world problem solver.


The assignment involves evaluating how cases move through the firm, how work is assigned, how deadlines are managed, and whether the technology already in place is being fully utilized. Along the way, immediate improvements can be implemented where appropriate, with a longer-term roadmap for future enhancements.


What You'll Be Doing

  • Assess litigation workflows from intake through trial
  • Evaluate attorney, paralegal, and support staff utilization
  • Identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and missed opportunities
  • Review technology platforms and workflow tools
  • Recommend smarter delegation and staffing models
  • Improve consistency, communication, and accountability
  • Deliver practical recommendations that can actually be implemented


What Makes Someone Successful?

  • 7-10+ years of California litigation paralegal experience
  • Strong understanding of state and federal litigation
  • Prior supervisory, training, or operations experience
  • Confidence working directly with attorneys and staff at all levels
  • Diplomacy, credibility, and excellent judgment
  • Experience with litigation technology and process improvement


Experience with Clio, iManage, LawToolBox, Everlaw, Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Office, and related legal technology platforms is highly desirable.


If workflow inefficiencies jump off the page, if delegation issues are impossible to ignore, and if improving legal operations sounds like fun rather than work, this could be the perfect short-term assignment.
