-
Handle court filings, both physical and electronic (eFiling experience preferred)

Maintain case files—both physical and digital—ensuring accuracy, confidentiality, and proper organization
-
Assist with document management: scanning, copying, and maintaining version control
-
Coordinate with courts, opposing counsel, clients, and third parties regarding filings, notices, and deadlines
-
Support attorneys with billing tasks, expense tracking, and office supply management
-
Transcribe notes or dictations when necessary

Uphold confidentiality and legal compliance at all times

Strong time management and ability to multi-task under deadlines
-
Local to the Torrance area (this is an on-site role)
Benefits & Perks

Competitive hourly rate: $25–$31/hour

Long-term, stable position with opportunity for growth in legal administration

Friendly, collaborative office culture
