Job description

If you’re the person attorneys trust when a filing deadline is closing in and the exhibit list just changed again, you will love this role. This is not a pure assistant seat. You’ll draft, run document reviews, manage trial prep, and own the moving parts of complex commercial litigation from the first complaint through post-trial. Add a collaborative team, competitive pay, and a strong benefits package at a firm that genuinely takes care of its people, and it’s a role worth making a move for.

The firm is also actively bringing AI tools like Microsoft Copilot into daily work, so you’ll have room to work smarter, not just faster. Very competitive salary and benefits.

What You’ll Do

• Draft and file briefs, complaints, motions, subpoenas, and summonses using firm templates and attorney input

• Support discovery: prepare for depositions, draft and respond to written discovery, and assist with expert discovery
