- Keep client and matter information and conflict-check records current.
- Cover front-office duties including greeting visitors, receiving mail and keeping supplies stocked.
- Respond quickly when urgent filing deadlines come up.
What we're looking for
- Roughly 3 to 5 years as a legal assistant in a law firm with a focus on litigation, though the range is flexible.
- Solid familiarity with California and federal court e-filing practices, or the resourcefulness to look up the rules quickly.
- Careful proofreading and a sharp eye for detail.
- Real willingness to pitch in on clerical and office tasks, such as billing entries and draft invoice review, in addition to case work.
- A steady, consistent employment history.
- Ability to commute to the office at least 2 days a week.
