Description

We are partnering with a respected municipal entity in Oakland to find an experienced Litigation Secretary to support a busy civil litigation team. This is a long-term contract opportunity with strong potential to convert to a permanent role for the right fit. The position offers a hybrid schedule: 2 days onsite in Oakland, 3 days remote.

If you thrive in a fast-paced legal environment and enjoy being key support to attorneys, this could be a great next step in your career.

What You’ll Do

+ Provide high-level administrative and litigation support to multiple attorneys

+ Prepare, format, and proofread legal documents, including pleadings, motions, and correspondence

+ Create and update Tables of Contents and Tables of Authorities (TOCs/TOAs)

+ Manage complex court calendaring and deadlines in accordance with state and federal rules

+ Handle state and federal e-filing

+ Maintain and organize case files in case management and document management systems (iManage a major plus)

+ Assist with case preparation, filings, and general litigation support tasks as needed

Requirements

+ 3+ years of experience as a Litigation Secretary in civil litigation

+ Law firm experience, municipal experience would be a major plus!

+ Strong knowledge of state and federal court procedures and e-filing

+ Excellent calendaring skills and understanding of litigation deadlines

+ Proficiency in formatting and drafting legal pleadings

+ Experience with case management systems (iManage is a big plus)

+ Ability to effectively support multiple attorneys

+ Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to prioritize in a deadline-driven environment

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

+ Work with a stable and mission-driven municipal organization

+ Hybrid schedule: 2 days onsite / 3 days remote

+ Long-term contract with potential for permanent hire

+ Gain valuable public-sector litigation experience while maintaining work-life balance

If you’re an experienced litigation secretary looking for a hybrid role with long-term potential, we’d love to connect with you!
