Your Opportunity
At Schwab, you’re empowered to make an impact on your career. Here, innovative thought meets creative problem solving, helping us “challenge the status quo” and transform the finance industry together.
We believe that, when done right, investing liberates people to create their own destiny. We are driven by our purpose to champion every client’s goal with passion and integrity. We respect and appreciate the diversity of our employees, our clients, and the communities we serve. We challenge conventions strategically to create value for our clients, our firm, and the world. We live and bring to life the concept of ‘own your tomorrow’ every day. We champion our employee strengths, guide their development, and invest in their long-term success. We hire optimistic, results-oriented, curious, innovative, and adaptable people with the desire to help our clients and one another succeed.
As a company, we were established by Chuck over 40 years ago to champion Main Street over Wall Street, and to help Americans transform themselves from earners to owners. Through advocacy and innovation, we work to make investing more affordable, accessible, and understandable for all. As we enter our fifth decade, we are looking for talented, innovative, and driven people who believe they can help themselves, and our clients, create a better future.
We are looking a Litigation Legal Support Specialist to join a team of attorneys and professionals who are responsible for litigation and arbitration matters filed against the Company. The position involves using in-house systems and resources to perform research tasks and provide administrative support for the team members in Legal Services.
What you will do:
- Research: Locate electronically stored information (ESI) across the company for handling high-stakes litigation and arbitration matters at the direction of attorneys and other members of the litigation support team.
- Organize: Review, analyze, and prepare ESI, documents and other material for delivery to counsel in litigation and arbitration matters.
- Monitor and manage: Monitor for new legal matters filed against the company and initiate the company’s defenses by using the team’s processes and matter management software; provide administrative help with correspondence, file transfers, trial and hearing exhibits, team calendar management, and internal reporting
- Collaborate: Support the team by skillfully operating and maintaining litigation management systems for matter management and reporting.
- Hybrid schedule: Employees may have the flexibility for a hybrid schedule, following our hybrid work flexibility program where they divide their time between working remotely or in the office.
