Litigation Legal Assistant

Blossom HR is recruiting an experienced Litigation Legal Assistant for a respected, mid-sized law firm in downtown San Francisco. This is a hybrid position: you will work in the office at least two days per week, in a building conveniently located right above a BART station.

You will support a litigation partner and the firm's environmental and energy practice. The role blends hands-on litigation support with general administrative and office support, so it is a great fit for a detail-oriented legal assistant who enjoys variety and genuinely likes keeping a busy practice organized.

• Prepare, format and proofread pleadings, briefs, correspondence and other litigation documents
• Handle e-filing and service in California state and federal courts (PACER, CM/ECF, TrueFiling)
• Track deadlines, maintain calendars and keep case files and document databases organized (Relativity, Nextpoint)
• Provide administrative and office support, including time entry, prebill review, reception coverage and office supplies
• Coordinate with attorneys, clients, courts and vendors in a professional, responsive way
