Litigation Legal Assistant (BG)

Litigation Legal Assistant
Hybrid
Must have at least 3 years of litigation experience, mandatory

Sometimes, the case runs the room.
Sometimes, you do.

Our client, a high-performing employment litigation defense firm in Glendale, is looking for a Litigation Legal Assistant who knows how to keep complex cases from turning into chaos—and maybe even enjoys it a little.

This isn’t a “sit back and wait for instructions” role. It’s a run-the-show (politely, of course) position. Think: quarterback, air traffic controller, and Excel whisperer—all rolled into one.

What makes this role interesting?

You’ll be the bottom-line case manager across multiple, high-stakes matters—each with its own cast of characters, deadlines, and plot twists. The attorneys? Smart, driven, and occasionally in need of a well-timed nudge. (Nicely persistent wins the day.)

What you’ll actually be doing (aka where you shine):

• Turning mountains of case documents into clear, organized, usable intelligence
• Building Excel spreadsheets that actually do something (sorting, filtering, pivot tables, formulas—you get it)
• Drafting case updates and summaries that make attorneys look very, very prepared
• Owning calendars and deadlines like they owe you money
• Handling e-filings across state, federal, and administrative agencies (NLRB, PERB, EDD, Wage Commissioner—you’ve seen the alphabet soup before)
• Researching court rules and judge preferences so nothing gets bounced back
• Managing calls, scheduling, and logistics without breaking stride
• Drafting, editing, redlining (Litera), Bates stamping—the full toolkit
• Preparing trial materials, exhibits, and hearing binders that actually make sense
• Keeping case files tight, organized, and audit-proof

The kind of person who thrives here:

• Calm under pressure, even when everything is “urgent”
• Detail-obsessed (in a good way)
• Not afraid to follow up with attorneys—gracefully but firmly
• Fluent in Excel, litigation workflow, and common sense
• Spanish speaking is preferred

The payoff:

• Work that actually matters—these are real cases with real impact
• A team that values someone who can own the details and drive the process
• A role where being organized, proactive, and just a little relentless is a competitive advantage

If you’ve ever thought, “If I were running this case, it would go a lot smoother”—this might be your moment.

Worth a conversation.
