Job description

The Trial Doesn't Wait. Neither Do You.

When the courtroom lights are on, every exhibit has to land. Every video deposition has to play. Every binder has to be in the attorney's hand the moment they reach for it. The jury never sees the work behind the scenes. They just see a firm that's prepared, polished, and in command. That's because of you.

We're a leading litigation firm with a reputation for courtroom excellence, and we're hiring a Legal Assistant focused on trial support. If you love the pressure, the tech, and the choreography of a great trial, this is your seat.

What You'll Do

• Run trial prep from the inside out, organizing exhibits, documents, and courtroom logistics so nothing slips
• Operate and troubleshoot trial tech on the fly, including computers, monitors, projectors, and AV gear
• Present video depositions, electronic exhibits, and multimedia during proceedings without missing a beat. Build exhibit binders, demonstratives, and visual aids that help attorneys tell a clean, compelling story
• Coordinate with witnesses and experts so the tech is ready before they are
• File and serve pleadings during trial when speed matters
• Solve problems in real time when something goes sideways in court
• Track and manage every trial tool and material from intake through verdict

This description captures the primary nature and level of work for this role. Additional duties, responsibilities, and qualifications may apply beyond those listed here.

What Makes You the One

• You stay calm and locked in when the stakes climb and the clock shrinks
• You're built for long hours and weekend work when a trial calls for it
• You can lift and carry 35 to 50 pounds of binders and equipment without flinching
• You bring courtroom or litigation support experience to the table. Familiarity with Trial Director, Sanction, or Exhibit View puts you ahead
• You communicate clearly, move with the team, and never make the win about you
• You have a bachelor's degree or equivalent legal or technical experience
