Part-Time Litigation Legal Assistant / Case Management Assistant

I am seeking a highly organized, detail-oriented part-time Legal Assistant to assist me with managing and organizing documents and deadlines relating to three active civil litigation matters involving multiple attorneys and jurisdictions. This position is primarily focused on case organization, deadline tracking, document review, discovery organization, and litigation file management. I need someone who can help make sure that deadlines, documents, correspondence, discovery materials, and case developments do not fall through the cracks. Responsibilities will include: Maintain a master calendar of all litigation deadlines, hearings, depositions, discovery deadlines, disclosure deadlines, and other important dates across three active cases. Review court filings, attorney correspondence, scheduling orders, discovery requests, and other documents to identify dates, deadlines, action items, and follow-up items. Maintain a separate chronology and deadline/action-item list for each case. Organize and index pleadings, motions, orders, discovery, deposition materials, exhibits, correspondence, and other case documents. Create and maintain case file indexes so documents can be located quickly. Help organize discovery productions, including Bates-numbered documents and production indexes. Review large volumes of emails, texts, and other communications and help organize them chronologically and by subject matter. Assist with identifying documents responsive to discovery requests. Maintain exhibit lists and potential witness/document lists. Cross-reference documents and evidence among related cases where appropriate. Track requests made to attorneys, opposing counsel, witnesses, and third parties and identify outstanding follow-up items. Assist in preparing organized document packages for counsel. Periodically review each case file to identify approaching deadlines, missing documents, unresolved tasks, or matters requiring follow-up. Perform other litigation-support and case-management tasks as needed. Qualifications: Prior experience as a litigation legal assistant, litigation paralegal, case manager, or similar legal-support professional is strongly preferred. The ideal candidate must be extremely organized and comfortable working with a substantial volume of documents and multiple simultaneous deadlines. Experience with civil litigation, discovery, Bates numbering, deposition preparation, document productions, court filings, and litigation calendaring is highly desirable. This position requires someone who is: exceptionally detail-oriented; reliable about deadlines; comfortable reading legal documents and attorney correspondence; able to distinguish important action items from background information; proficient with Word, Excel, PDF documents, cloud-based file storage, and email; able to maintain strict confidentiality; and comfortable working independently and asking questions when something is unclear. This is not a position requiring the assistant to provide legal advice or independently practice law. The role is to help organize, track, review, and manage litigation information and documents while I work with my attorneys. Schedule Part-time and flexible. Initially, I anticipate approximately 5–15 hours per week, with the possibility of additional hours when major discovery or filing deadlines are approaching. Remote work is possible, although availability during normal Central Time business hours for occasional calls would be helpful.
