What we're looking for:

  • 5+ years of experience as a Litigation/Legal Assistant in a litigation environment
  • Labor and employment experience is a plus, but not required
  • Strong calendaring background with proficiency in eDockets, Milana, or CompuLaw
  • Solid eFiling experience in State and Federal courts
  • Sharp critical thinking, proofreading skills, and the ability to juggle multiple priorities
  • Proficiency in MS Office 365 (Word, Excel, Outlook)
  • High school diploma or equivalent required; some college coursework preferred

Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., in-office five days a week during training, with a hybrid schedule available afterward.

Benefits include:

  • Competitive pay and incentives
  • Medical, dental, vision, and FSA
  • Firm-paid EAP, telemedicine, life insurance, STD, and LTD
  • 401(k), paid holidays, PTO, and paid parental leave
  • Business casual dress, firm events, and more
  • The firm is a multi-year honoree on Law360's list of Best Law Firms for Women and Minority Attorneys and is deeply committed to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion. Diverse candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.
