Litigation Paralegal

Robert Half • San Mateo, CA • 3h ago

Description

Boutique law firm is seeking an experienced Litigation Paralegal to support active civil litigation matters with remote work flexibility. This Litigation Paralegal will contribute to document-intensive cases through the full litigation lifecycle including drafting documents, discovery management, and preparing materials for hearings and trial. The ideal candidate brings strong judgment, a detail-oriented approach, and the ability to manage competing deadlines in a fast-paced legal environment. Experience supporting appellate matters at the state level is valued, though it is not required. This position can be 100% remote or on-site, depending on your preferences. The ideal candidate will have 5+ years of California-based civil litigation experience in a paralegal support capacity.

Responsibilities:

Manage case files, maintain organized matter documentation, and track deadlines across multiple civil litigation matters.

Review, analyze, and categorize large volumes of documents to support discovery responses, case strategy, and trial readiness.

Prepare exhibits, witness materials, hearing binders, and other case-related documents for depositions, hearings, and trial proceedings.

Draft, format, and finalize legal documents such as pleadings, subpoenas, discovery materials, and correspondence for attorney review.

Coordinate court filings and service of process while ensuring compliance with applicable procedural rules and deadlines.

Utilize case management software to monitor activity, update matter status, and maintain accurate litigation records.

Assist attorneys with factual research, chronology development, and compilation of supporting materials for case preparation.

Provide additional support on appellate filings and record organization for state-level appeals when needed.

Requirements

At least 5 years of paralegal experience supporting litigation matters, including substantial exposure to California-based civil litigation.

Demonstrated ability to handle discovery-related tasks, including document review and preparation of supporting case materials.

Hands-on experience assisting with trial preparation in a law firm or legal department environment.

Proficiency in drafting legal documents and coordinating court filings with strong attention to accuracy and deadlines.

Working knowledge of case management software and the ability to keep litigation files organized and current.

Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work effectively in a remote setting.

State appellate experience is a plus, but not a mandatory qualification.
