If you are looking to bring your skills to a firm where the work is meaningful, the cases are active, and the attorneys you support are genuinely fighting for something — this is the role
Shegerian & Associates is one of the most successful plaintiff employment trial firms in California. We take on employers who discriminate, harass, and retaliate against employees — and we win. Our attorneys are aggressive, our caseload is active, and our litigation team is in the fight every day. We are looking for a Legal Assistant who knows what that environment feels like and is ready to be in the middle of it.
This is not a document-management role at a firm that settles everything quietly. This is real litigation support at a firm that goes to trial.
What you will be doing
- You will be embedded in an active plaintiff employment litigation practice — supporting attorneys on real cases from pleading through trial preparation. Your day will include:
- Prepare mediation memoranda that position our clients for the best possible outcome
- Draft and prepare court forms — requests for dismissal, name amendments, case management statements, notices of settlement
- Prepare notices and pleadings in proper format
- Finalize and format discovery requests and responses, input service information, and obtain client verifications
- Serve discovery and file and serve pleadings
- Maintain and organize case files in Litify
- Prepare and serve termination letters for dropped clients
- Create Dropbox links for case file sharing
- Format pleadings, input exhibits, and prepare materials for attorney review
- Mail legal documents on behalf of attorneys
- Coordinate directly with clients and opposing counsel on behalf of attorneys
- Assist with initiating arbitration matters
