Description

We are in search of an In-House Litigation Paralegal to join our team in Lake Forest (soon to move to Irvine). In this role, you will be managing a national caseload, responding to subpoenas, conducting legal research, and closely working with outside counsel. Employment law experience is strongly preferred, as is in-house experience.

Because this is a small legal team, this In-House Litigation Paralegal must be used to wearing many hats.

This role is based in our Orange County office, but remote work is possible for those outside of Orange County (ability to work PST is a must). However, a strong preference will be given to Litigation Paralegals who are able to commute on site daily in Orange County

The In-House Litigation Paralegal will be responsible for the following:

• Assist in managing litigation cases, with a focus on employment law, in multiple jurisdictions.

• Respond to subpoenas, particularly those that include medical records, and summarize them accordingly.

• Conduct legal research on various matters, such as employment law issues.

• Work closely with outside counsel to ensure effective case management.

• Manage litigation holds and eDiscovery procedures.

* Pay is contingent upon the experience above. Pay will also be higher for those who can commute on-site daily in Orange County - this is the preference.

Requirements

• Must have a minimum of 3 years of experience as a Litigation Paralegal (ideally, with some in-house experience).

• Proficiency in civil litigation processes and procedures (in CA for sure, but ideally also other states)

• Experience responding to subpoenas

• Demonstrated ability in legal research, looking up civil codes & procedures in various states

• Familiarity with litigation holds and e-discovery

• Ability to summarize medical records

• Proficient in the use of legal research software and other related tools
