Team Coordination & Gatekeeping:
Serve as a central point of contact for the 7-attorney team. Coordinate schedules with internal staff, clients, opposing counsel, and court personnel to ensure smooth execution of legal proceedings.
Reporting & Case Tracking:
Utilize Excel, Google Sheets,
and legal management tools to generate comprehensive case status reports, tracking metrics, and administrative summaries for leadership.
Prioritization & Problem Solving:
Actively triage conflicting schedules and last-minute court continuances. Proactively resolve overlapping commitments before they become issues.
Documentation & Correspondence:
Maintain detailed records of scheduling changes, draft professional correspondence, and ensure case files are organized and accessible.
Confidentiality:
Maintain absolute discretion and strict confidentiality regarding sensitive client data and ongoing litigation strategies.
Experience and Qualifications:
Education:
Bachelor's degree or an Associate's degree in Legal Studies (or a Paralegal Certificate) is highly preferred.
Experience:
Minimum of 2–3 years of experience as a Legal Assistant, Legal EA, or Litigation Coordinator in a fast-paced law firm environment.
Prioritization Skills:
Proven experience supporting a multi-attorney team (ideally 4+ attorneys) and managing competing high-priority demands.
Legal Knowledge:
Solid foundational understanding of litigation workflows, legal terminology, and how court timelines operate.
Technical Proficiency:
Proficient in Google Workspace (Gmail, Google Calendar) and Microsoft Office (Word, Excel). Experience with legal practice management software is a strong plus.
