Job Description
We are looking for an experienced Legal Secretary to support a busy commercial litigation practice. This role is well suited for a confident, detail-oriented individual who can manage competing priorities, maintain accuracy under pressure, and contribute effectively in a high-volume, partner-driven environment. The ideal candidate brings strong litigation support experience, takes initiative without constant direction, and is ready to assume ownership of daily responsibilities from the start.
Responsibilities:
- Prepare, review, and submit court filings in state and federal courts, ensuring all documents meet procedural rules and deadlines.
- Maintain complex litigation calendars by tracking hearings, filing dates, court appearances, and other case-related milestones.
- Support attorneys with document preparation, revisions, formatting, and transcription from dictated material as needed.
- Coordinate case materials, correspondence, and legal records so files remain organized, current, and readily accessible.
- Monitor multiple active matters at once and adjust priorities quickly to meet urgent deadlines in a fast-paced practice.
- Communicate with attorneys, court personnel, and internal teams to facilitate efficient handling of litigation matters.
- Take ownership of assigned work by anticipating needs, following through on deliverables, and helping keep matters on schedule.
