Requirements

  • Qualified candidates must reside in and remain actively licensed to practice law in good standing in California.
  • Candidates must have 7+ years of relevant litigation experience, either in-house or at a law firm.
  • Job requires excellent analytical and writing skills, strong organizational skills, ability to multi-task, and dedication to client service.
  • Due to the remote nature of the position, this job requires a high level of self-motivation, accountability for work product, and responsiveness.
  • Candidates should have a demonstrated ability to manage and work collaboratively with attorneys, administrative professionals, and clients, including excellent interpersonal skills.

Please note, we are not working with outside recruiters for this position.
