Job Description

Every Deposition Starts Long Before the Witness Sits Down. That's Where You Come In.

Behind every deposition at Shegerian & Associates is a web of notices, subpoenas, schedules, vendors, and logistics that have to be airtight before a single question is asked. As our Deposition Clerk, you're the one who makes it all happen, quietly, precisely, and without fail.

We're California's premier plaintiff-side employment law firm, and we're looking for someone who understands that in litigation, the details aren't just important. They're everything.

What You'll Do

• Prepare and serve deposition notices, subpoenas for personal appearance, and objections so the legal team is always positioned and ready
• Track down witness information through research to ensure subpoenas land exactly where they need to
• Coordinate out-of-state subpoenas and stakeouts, including working with third-party vendors for domestications and filing Disc 30's where required
• Schedule and confirm court reporters, videographers, and interpreters for depositions, trials, client meetings, and beyond
• Book and manage conference rooms for depositions, whether at our offices or third-party locations, keeping the calendar conflict-free
• Support client deposition prep at the direction of attorneys, ensuring clients walk in ready
• Order and save deposition transcripts and videos, then organize and maintain everything in Litify and Dropbox so the team always has what they need
• Process service of complaints and discovery, keeping cases moving forward without delay

This role touches every corner of active litigation. The responsibilities listed here are a strong representation of what you'll own, but this is a dynamic environment and the right person shows up ready to do what the case needs.

What Makes You the One

• Your organizational instincts are automatic and your follow-through is non-negotiable
• You understand litigation timelines and the urgency that comes with them
• You can manage multiple moving parts across multiple cases without losing a single thread
• You communicate clearly and professionally with vendors, court reporters, opposing counsel, and internal teams
• You take ownership of your work and bring a proactive mindset to every task
