    Description

    A local government agency is seeking a Legal Assistant to support its City Attorney’s Office on a full-time, temporary basis during a period of transition.

The agency is seeking a candidate with a strong litigation background—ideally from a law firm or legal department—who can step in immediately and bring proven organizational skills and legal workflow experience. Municipal experience is not required. This is an excellent opportunity for a litigation-focused legal assistant who enjoys high-volume, deadline-driven work and is available for a short-term, fully onsite assignment.

    + Monitor claims and litigation deadlines, including discovery schedules, court appearances, and response timelines

    + Prepare, process, and e-file pleadings and legal correspondence in accordance with court rules

    + Assist with subpoena coordination, discovery indexing, and records tracking

    + Maintain case files, organize exhibits, and ensure accurate documentation of case activity

    + Coordinate communications with opposing counsel and court personnel

    + Track CLE requirements, legal subscriptions, and department administrative records

    + Perform related legal and administrative duties as assigned

    Requirements

    Required Qualifications

    + At least 1 year of recent litigation experience in a law firm or legal department

    + Strong working knowledge of legal calendaring, e-filing, and discovery support

    + Exceptional organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage deadlines across multiple matters

    + Proficiency in Microsoft Office and legal document formatting tools

    + High school diploma or equivalent required; paralegal certificate or college degree preferred

    + Ability to report onsite in San Rafael, CA five days per week

    Preferred Qualifications

    + Experience supporting attorneys in civil litigation, tort defense, or public liability cases

    + Familiarity with subpoena processing, motion tracking, and trial prep workflows

    + Prior work with city attorney’s offices or public sector legal teams (a plus but not required)
