📋 Description

• Support attorneys by managing a personal injury and civil litigation caseload from pre-filing through litigation milestones. • Own key tasks that keep cases moving efficiently and confidently, ensuring court deadlines are met, documents are filed correctly, and clients remain well-informed throughout the legal process. • Onboard onto active cases quickly, build and document your own processes where none exist, and produce consistent, high-quality output under pressure — from day one. • Managing personal injury and civil litigation caseloads independently — including approximately 20 active litigation and/or pre-litigation matters simultaneously. • Preparing, formatting, and filing key court documents including complaints, motions, and case management statements — with zero tolerance for recurring errors regardless of workload pressure. • Maintaining and updating case calendars with deadlines, hearings, and filings — anticipating what needs to happen next without being asked. • Drafting and coordinating discovery requests, responses, and related correspondence with precision and efficiency. • Working with clients, opposing counsel, and third parties to gather necessary case information and respond appropriately — asking targeted, efficient questions rather than requiring extended explanatory sessions. • Organizing, formatting, and proofreading legal documents using MS Word to ensure full compliance with court rules and internal quality standards. • Preparing exhibits, binders, and document sets for hearings, depositions, and trial preparation. • Using Clio Manage for case tracking, document storage, and client communications — keeping everything current and accessible at all times. • Collaborating with attorneys to support trial preparation as needed — self-sufficiently, even when lateral support is unavailable or unreliable. • Communicating with clients to gather facts, provide case updates, and ensure timely input on litigation strategy — always with professionalism and discretion. • Building and documenting workflows and processes where they do not yet exist — contributing to the operational structure of a growing firm rather than simply inheriting established systems.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of experience as a litigation paralegal, case manager, or senior paralegal in personal injury and/or civil litigation law — with a proven track record of managing caseloads independently and under pressure. • California personal injury litigation experience is strongly desired — familiarity with California court rules, filing requirements, and PI workflows is a significant advantage. • Demonstrated ability to operate with minimal supervision — you anticipate what needs to be done, take initiative without waiting for instructions, and communicate proactively rather than reactively. • Proven comfort working in unstructured, fast-growing, or startup-phase law firm environments — you build processes, you don't just follow them. • Ability to onboard onto active cases quickly and without a formal handoff period — producing quality output from day one in a high-volume environment. • Zero-tolerance approach to recurring document errors — your attention to detail is consistent and reliable under pressure, not only when the workload is light. • Concise, efficient, and targeted communication style — you ask the right questions when needed but do not require extended explanatory sessions for standard litigation tasks. • Ability to work self-sufficiently when lateral support is unavailable — you never depend on a colleague or internal resource to function effectively. • Comfortable working alongside a direct, results-focused, high-output attorney who communicates by exception rather than by routine check-in. • Expertise in calendaring deadlines, drafting litigation documents, and preparing case management statements. • Strong MS Word skills — capable of formatting legal documents to professional and court-compliant standards. • Experience with Clio Manage or equivalent case management tools, plus calendaring and e-filing familiarity. • Excellent written and verbal English communication skills — able to handle sensitive client information with professionalism and discretion at all times.

🏖️ Benefits

• 15 days of PTO plus U.S. national holidays off. • Fully remote role — work from anywhere with a professional home setup. • Opportunities to grow within the legal support field through ongoing collaboration with experienced attorneys. • A supportive, transparent, and organized work environment through Veta Virtual and our client.
