What You'll Do

• Docket court orders and notices daily in Outlook and our case management system
• Keep calendars accurate when dates move or cases settle
• Prepare and e-file pleadings, motions, and notices in state and federal courts
• Organize discovery and assemble document productions and exhibit sets
• Give clients regular case updates by phone and email

• Meticulous attention to detail, especially with dates, names, and numbers
• Able to manage deadlines across many files at once
• Clear, professional writing and phone skills
• Strong Microsoft 365 skills (Outlook, Word, Excel, Teams) and quick to learn new software
• Discretion with confidential client information

Preferred (not required)

• Litigation experience: court calendaring, e-filing, discovery, and document productions
• Plaintiff-side experience, or familiarity with property insurance or personal injury cases
• Experience with legal case management software

Who Thrives Here

You take ownership of your files and follow through without being reminded. You check dates twice. You stay patient with clients dealing with a damaged home or an injury.
