• Communicate professionally with clients, opposing counsel, court staff, and external partners regarding case-related matters.
• Manage calendars by arranging meetings, conference calls, depositions, court dates, and travel plans while tracking key deadlines.
• Process payment requests and assist with client invoicing and billing coordination in accordance with firm procedures.
• Maintain and organize case files and documents using legal technology and document management systems.
• Provide additional administrative support as needed to help the litigation team meet critical deadlines and workload demands. Requirements
• At least 2-3+ years of experience as a legal assistant or paralegal, preferably in complex civil defense litigation.
• High school diploma required; additional legal secretarial training, business education, or a paralegal certificate is strongly preferred.
• Hands-on experience with civil litigation (or similar) support, including e-filing in Colorado (Required), document preparation, and docketing.
• Strong proficiency with Microsoft Office applications, especially Word, Outlook, and Excel, along with Adobe Acrobat for document editing.
• Ability to manage a high-volume workload with strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and sound judgment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including proofreading, grammar, and business correspondence.
