About the Role

You'll support attorneys by preparing discovery requests and responses, drafting litigation documents, and creating reusable legal templates.

• Prepare attorney-ready discovery requests, including interrogatories, requests for production, and requests for admission.
• Draft accurate discovery responses in coordination with attorneys, identifying missing information and supporting materials that need follow-up.
• Produce clear, properly formatted pleadings, litigation documents, and correspondence for attorney review.
• Build and maintain reusable legal templates that improve consistency and reduce repetitive document preparation.
• Organize discovery materials, supporting evidence, and case files so attorneys can quickly locate the information they need.
• Track discovery deadlines and document readiness, flagging outstanding items early to support timely case progression.
• Use legal case management software and document management tools to keep case records, assignments, and documentation organized.
• Anticipate attorney documentation needs, communicate progress reliably, and identify practical improvements to litigation workflows.

Must-Have:

• At least 2 years of U.S. civil litigation experience, including hands-on experience supporting California personal injury litigation cases.
• A strong working understanding of California civil litigation procedures, civil discovery, and litigation workflows.
• Proven experience drafting interrogatories, requests for production, requests for admission, discovery responses, and reusable legal templates.
• Excellent written English and legal drafting skills, including accurate legal terminology and advanced Microsoft Word skills for formatting and document preparation.
• Strong technological proficiency, including experience with legal case management software and document management tools, plus the ability to learn new systems efficiently.
• Ability to organize large volumes of documents, manage multiple deadlines, communicate reliably, and deliver accurate work with minimal training and supervision.

Nice to Have:

• Experience using Clio.
• Paralegal certification or formal legal studies training. Equivalent hands-on litigation experience is welcome; a formal credential is not required.
