Litigation Legal Assistant
Hybrid
Must have at least 3 years of litigation experience, mandatory
Sometimes, the case runs the room.
Sometimes, you do.
Our client, a high-performing employment litigation defense firm in Glendale, is looking for a Litigation Legal Assistant who knows how to keep complex cases from turning into chaos—and maybe even enjoys it a little.
This isn’t a “sit back and wait for instructions” role. It’s a run-the-show (politely, of course) position. Think: quarterback, air traffic controller, and Excel whisperer—all rolled into one.
What makes this role interesting?
You’ll be the bottom-line case manager across multiple, high-stakes matters—each with its own cast of characters, deadlines, and plot twists. The attorneys? Smart, driven, and occasionally in need of a well-timed nudge. (Nicely persistent wins the day.)
What you’ll actually be doing (aka where you shine):
- Turning mountains of case documents into clear, organized, usable intelligence
- Building Excel spreadsheets that actually do something (sorting, filtering, pivot tables, formulas—you get it)
- Drafting case updates and summaries that make attorneys look very, very prepared
- Owning calendars and deadlines like they owe you money
- Handling e-filings across state, federal, and administrative agencies (NLRB, PERB, EDD, Wage Commissioner—you’ve seen the alphabet soup before)
- Researching court rules and judge preferences so nothing gets bounced back
- Managing calls, scheduling, and logistics without breaking stride
- Drafting, editing, redlining (Litera), Bates stamping—the full toolkit
- Preparing trial materials, exhibits, and hearing binders that actually make sense
- Keeping case files tight, organized, and audit-proof
The kind of person who thrives here:
- Calm under pressure, even when everything is “urgent”
- Detail-obsessed (in a good way)
- Not afraid to follow up with attorneys—gracefully but firmly
- Fluent in Excel, litigation workflow, and common sense
- Spanish speaking is preferred
The payoff:
- Work that actually matters—these are real cases with real impact
- A team that values someone who can own the details and drive the process
- A role where being organized, proactive, and just a little relentless is a competitive advantage
If you’ve ever thought, “If I were running this case, it would go a lot smoother”—this might be your moment.
Worth a conversation.
