Description

A boutique litigation law firm on the Peninsula is seeking a part-time File Clerk to join its team on an open-ended contract basis. This role is fully onsite in Burlingame, but the firm can accommodate shorter hours across five days or consolidate longer hours into fewer days, depending on the candidate’s preference.

+ Organize, maintain, and update physical and electronic case files

+ Assist with scanning, printing, labeling, and sorting legal documents

+ Support the litigation secretary with file management and administrative tasks
