• Draft and prepare pleadings and other routine civil litigation documents with limited supervision.
• Coordinate with attorneys to ensure discovery responses, pleadings, and supporting materials are complete, accurate, and submitted on time.
• Track California litigation deadlines, discovery due dates, court dates, and other case-related milestones.
• Prepare and coordinate California Superior Court filings and electronic filings.
• Organize medical records, supporting documents, client materials, and litigation files so attorneys can quickly access the information they need.
• Assist with motions and other litigation documentation when required while recognizing when attorney input or approval is necessary.

Must-Have:

• Significant hands-on experience supporting U.S. Personal Injury civil litigation matters, including practical California litigation experience.
• Strong working knowledge of California civil discovery procedures, workflows, and deadlines.
• Demonstrated experience preparing interrogatories, requests for production, requests for admission, and related discovery responses.
• Fluent English and Spanish, both written and spoken, with the confidence to communicate directly with Spanish-speaking clients about detailed case information.
• Strong legal drafting and document-review skills, including experience preparing pleadings and supporting litigation documents.
• Experience managing multiple active matters, competing deadlines, litigation calendars, and court filing requirements with a high degree of accuracy.
• Ability to independently handle routine civil litigation work, proactively resolve missing information, and appropriately escalating substantive legal questions to attorneys.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with California Superior Court electronic filing systems.
• Experience using MerusCase or comparable litigation case management software; MerusCase experience is strongly preferred.
• Paralegal certification or formal legal education.
• Previous experience working remotely with U.S. attorneys or litigation teams.
• Broader experience supporting motions and other pretrial litigation work.
