• Drafting & Filing: Draft and file legal documents including Complaints, Pleadings, Discovery Requests/Responses, and Motions. Handle e-filing in PA, NJ, and Federal courts, ensuring timely submission and adherence to jurisdictional rules.
• Discovery Coordination: Oversee the discovery process, including managing document production, coordinating responses to discovery requests, and issuing subpoenas. Ensure attorneys have complete and organized materials ready for hearings, depositions, and trials.
• Communication & Coordination: Communicate clearly and proactively with clients, attorneys, opposing counsel, and third parties. Provide consistent case updates and support clients through the legal process with empathy and urgency.
• Trial Preparation Support: Support trial preparation by coordinating witnesses, preparing trial binders, and ensuring all exhibits and case materials are ready for courtroom use. Be available to attend trials as needed.
• Independent Workflow Management: Independently manage your workload with minimal supervision, balancing deadlines and priorities for two attorneys while contributing to a collaborative, high-performing legal team.

• Communication Skills: Strong written and verbal communication skills, able to convey information clearly and professionally.
• Court Filing Knowledge: Experience with e-filing in PA, NJ, and Federal courts.
• Team Fit: A team player with a positive attitude, openness to learning new processes, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
• Self-Management: Ability to work independently, take ownership of tasks, and adapt to shifting priorities without micromanagement.
• Core Values Alignment: Someone who is Passionate, Communicates Effectively, thrives as a Team Player, refuses to be Complacent, and takes full Accountability for their actions and results.

Why you should work here:

• Impact & Autonomy: Be part of a growing litigation team where your expertise and autonomy are respected—no micromanagement, just clear expectations and meaningful work.
• Growth Opportunities: Join a firm that values internal growth, offering career advancement opportunities for high performers.
