Job Description

Legal Assistant / Litigation Paralegal, Foreclosure (1–3 Years)

Cincinnati, OH | Full-Time | Hybrid / Remote

Drive Ohio and Kentucky foreclosure files from pleadings through judgment and post-sale — with hybrid flexibility and a collaborative Midwest litigation team behind you.

Protem Legal is collaborating with a well-established multi-state creditor's rights firm to fill a Legal Assistant / Litigation Paralegal role supporting its Cincinnati-based Midwest team.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Hybrid / remote flexibility tied to the Cincinnati office
• Substantive foreclosure litigation work, not just admin
• Ohio and Kentucky state-court exposure
• Clear path to grow inside a national litigation practice
• Daily collaboration with attorneys, clients and courts

About the Role

You'll manage residential and commercial foreclosure matters pending in Ohio and Kentucky courts. Expect to draft, e-file, calendar hearings and keep files moving from pleadings through judgment, sale and post-sale activity while staying tightly connected to the Cincinnati litigation team.

What You'll Do

• Draft pleadings, motions, affidavits, discovery responses, notices and correspondence
• E-file in Ohio and Kentucky courts and track deadlines and local rules
• Coordinate hearings, court appearances and attorney calendars
• Serve as a primary contact among attorneys, clients, courts and opposing counsel
• Respond to client system messages and inquiries each day
• Support case progression through judgment, sale and post-sale work
• Keep electronic case files accurate and aligned with client budgets and requirements

What We're Looking For

• 1–3+ years of litigation paralegal or legal assistant experience
• Prior mortgage foreclosure litigation experience (Ohio and/or Kentucky strongly preferred)
• Paralegal certificate, associate or bachelor's degree, or equivalent practical experience
• Strong knowledge of court filing systems and litigation deadlines
• Excellent written and verbal communication and high attention to detail
• Proficiency in Microsoft Word, Outlook and Excel
• Ability to work independently in a remote setting while collaborating with a team
• Must be authorized to work in the U.S.; no visa sponsorship for this role

Work Environment

Remote-friendly role based out of the Cincinnati, Ohio office, supporting Ohio and Kentucky litigation. Hybrid remote structure with team collaboration and training.

Compensation

Competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package. Pay will be discussed during the interview process and is based on qualifications and experience.

How to Apply

Apply confidentially through Protem Legal. We'll contact you before anything is shared with the firm.
