We specialize in lemon law and consumer advocacy, fighting on behalf of clients against some of the largest manufacturers in the country. With over 100 team members across legal, operations, data, and client services, SLP moves fast, litigates aggressively, and wins. We are growing — and we're looking for professionals who match our standard. This is not a traditional administrative role. The Legal Case Manager / Executive Assistant provides direct operational and litigation support to a Partner of the firm, functioning as a critical extension of Partner-level leadership on active consumer protection matters. The right candidate brings legal case management expertise, precise deadline discipline, and a high-output work ethic to a demanding, fast-paced environment. This role requires someone who can own their workload without hand-holding — drafting professional legal correspondence, managing complex court calendars, tracking multi-deadline litigation timelines, and keeping cases moving from filing through resolution.

WHAT SETS YOU APART

You don't wait to be told what needs to happen next — you already know. You track deadlines like your professional reputation depends on it, because it does. You draft clean, professional correspondence without needing multiple rounds of edits. You communicate proactively, flag issues early, and follow through on every action item. If this describes how you already work, you'll thrive here. Compliance & Documentation Maintain accurate billing records and assist with time-entry review and fee motion support Ensure court filing deadlines are met without exception — proactively flagging conflicts or risks well in advance Uphold firm documentation standards and support compliance workflows as directed
