Job Description

Job Description

We are looking for an experienced Legal Secretary to support a busy legal team. This long-term contract-to-hire position is well suited to someone who thrives in a litigation environment and can manage competing priorities with accuracy and professionalism. The role offers a hybrid schedule with time split between on-site work and remote work, and it will focus on keeping case activity, filings, and attorney support functions running smoothly.

Responsibilities:

  • Prepare, review, and submit legal documents through electronic filing systems while ensuring compliance with court rules and deadlines.
  • Maintain attorney calendars by coordinating hearings, deadlines, appointments, and other case-related commitments.
  • Provide administrative support for litigation matters, including drafting correspondence, formatting pleadings, and organizing case files.
  • Track filing dates and court requirements to help the team stay ahead of important case milestones.
  • Support defense-side matters involving insurance defense and employment-related cases through accurate document handling and case coordination.
  • Communicate with courts, clients, and internal team members regarding scheduling, filings, and case logistics

Qualifications:

  • Prior experience working as a Legal Secretary in a litigation practice.
  • Background supporting defense-side legal work, particularly in insurance defense and employment matters.
  • Proficiency with electronic court filing processes and related legal documentation.
  • Strong calendar management skills with the ability to handle multiple deadlines at once.
  • Experience transcribing attorney dictation with a high level of accuracy and attention to detail.
  • Ability to work effectively in a hybrid environment while maintaining consistent productivity.
  • Excellent written communication, organization, and time management skills
