Description

Our client, a California-based plaintiff-side law firm, is seeking an experienced Litigation Paralegal to provide temporary support during a maternity leave coverage period. This is initially a full-time contract role supporting ongoing litigation matters with a strong emphasis on discovery preparation, litigation support, and high-volume case workflow management. The firm handles complex plaintiff-side matters, including toxic tort and environmental exposure cases, and operates in a fast-paced, lean environment.

This role is best suited for a paralegal with strong discovery preparation experience who can take ownership of litigation workflows, communicate directly with clients, and operate independently in a fast-paced remote litigation environment with minimal oversight. Due to the urgency of the need, the selected candidate should already be comfortable handling litigation support tasks such as discovery preparation, pleading support, filing coordination, calendaring accuracy, and managing multiple active matters simultaneously without a formal cross-training period.

Following the initial maternity leave coverage period, the ideal candidate will be open to remaining on assignment on a structured part-time schedule for approximately six additional months to support the current paralegal's transition back from leave and maintain continuity across active matters.

Responsibilities

Prepare and manage written discovery, including interrogatories and requests for production

Work from established discovery templates and tailor responses to case-specific facts

Gather, organize, and synthesize information from clients and case materials

Communicate directly with clients to support intake and discovery development

Assist with drafting and preparing pleadings and other litigation documents

Coordinate filings through third-party filing services

Coordinate and track litigation deadlines, filings, service requirements, and case-related logistics across multiple active matters

Support attorneys across active litigation matters from intake through discovery phases

Requirements

3+ years of experience as a Litigation Paralegal supporting California matters

Demonstrated, hands-on experience managing discovery from start to finish

Background in plaintiff-side litigation or personal injury environments

Experience supporting toxic tort or complex plaintiff-side matters is strongly preferred

Comfortable communicating directly with clients and handling sensitive information

Strong organizational skills and ability to manage deadlines independently

Ability to work effectively in a fully remote environment with minimal oversight

Additional Details

Fully remote role with an initial consistent 40-hour/week schedule

Ideal candidate is open to transitioning to a structured part-time schedule following the maternity leave coverage period

Candidates may be based outside California but must have prior experience working under California litigation rules

Background check required prior to start

This is an opportunity to step into a hands-on litigation role with meaningful responsibility, supporting active plaintiff-side matters in a remote, execution-focused environment. Apply today, for a potential start next week!
