Job Description
We are looking for an experienced Legal Secretary to provide immediate contract coverage for a busy legal team. This role supports attorneys in a fast-paced defense litigation environment and is well suited to someone who can work independently, stay organized, and maintain strong responsiveness in a fully remote setting. The position plays an important part in keeping daily legal operations moving smoothly during a contract leave coverage period.
Responsibilities:
- Provide day-to-day administrative and legal support up to four attorneys, helping manage priorities and maintain efficient workflow.
- Coordinate calendars, schedule meetings, and track important deadlines using litigation calendaring tools and Outlook-integrated systems.
- Handle electronic filing and service of legal documents in state courts, federal courts, and jurisdictions outside the state as needed.
- Open new legal matters and ensure case information is entered accurately and organized according to firm procedures.
- Prepare and process attorney expense reimbursements in a timely and accurate manner.
- Assist with litigation support activities, including document handling, deadline coordination, and case-related administrative tasks.
- Work closely with legal secretaries, administrative staff, and word processing resources to support team operations effectively.
- Step into assignments with minimal onboarding, using sound judgment and initiative to maintain continuity of attorney support during leave coverage.
