Job Description

Coordinating with court personnel, clients, and expert witnesses
-
Filing documents with state and federal courts (electronic and physical)
-
Keeping the attorney organized and ahead of the curve on all deadlines
What You Bring:
-
Strong background in civil litigation (insurance defense is a plus)
-
Deep familiarity with the CA Code of Civil Procedure and local rules
-
Ability to work independently and juggle multiple active files
-
No paralegal certificate required—your experience speaks for itself
-
Excellent communication, writing, and time management skills
Compensation & Benefits:
-
Salary range: $80,000 to $100,000, depending on experience
-

This is a real job with real impact. You won't be chasing copies or waiting on vague instructions. You'll be an integral part of the litigation team—relied on, respected, and busy from day one.
Apply now to join a trial-forward defense firm that values competence, efficiency, and initiative. Mission Recruiting is proud to represent this opportunity confidentially.
