Legal Assistant - Insurance Defense
Share:
As a legal assistant on our team, you’ll handle complex tasks critical to the success of our law offices. An ideal candidate will have prior litigation experience and an understanding of legal terminology, which will be used to provide administrative support to our attorneys through preparation of legal documents and correspondences, such as motions and pleadings. Using an electronic case management system, you’ll manage attorney calendars, coordinate examinations for defense experts, and communicate with clients. Among other things, you’ll spend time maintaining files, answering phone calls, propounding discovery – including serving client discovery, along with other administrative duties. A large part of this legal assistant role will be focused on scheduling and re-scheduling of depositions for our attorneys.
This is a hybrid position with occasional travel to one of offices located in Irvine, Concord, or Sherman Oaks for meetings and/or training. Candidates must reside within a reasonable driving distance of the office they support.
