The strongest candidates will have direct experience preparing motions and responding to written discovery, particularly interrogatories, requests for production, and requests for admission.

  • Pay: $40-$43/hour, depending on experience
  • Interview Process: One 45-60-minute interview
Qualifications:
  • Hands-on civil litigation or personal injury experience
  • California litigation experience required
  • Strong written discovery experience, including substantive response preparation
  • Experience drafting motions and other litigation documents
  • Ability to independently prioritize a high-volume workload and meet competing deadlines
  • Excellent writing, organization, and attention to detail
  • Insurance defense experience is strongly preferred
  • Paralegal certificate or bachelor’s degree is preferred but not required
Responsibilities:
  • Draft motions, pleadings, and other litigation documents

  • Review, organize, and summarize medical records, case files, discovery materials, and supporting documentation
  • Assist attorneys throughout all stages of active civil litigation matters

  • Support approximately two attorneys while providing additional floating support to the broader legal team as needed
  • Maintain organized case files and ensure deadlines and deliverables are completed accurately and on time
