About the role
- You'll also handle the steady flow of third-party legal requests, including subpoenas, summonses, and preservation demands, and route each to the right owner with the facts and deadlines already assembled.
- If your instinct when something breaks is to redesign the process, you will do well here.
Responsibilities
- Manage eDiscovery workflows end to end across multiple matters, including issuing and tracking legal hold notices, maintaining custodian lists and acknowledgments, coordinating custodian interviews, and overseeing collection, processing, review, and production.
- Serve as day-to-day point of contact for eDiscovery and litigation-support vendors, including scoping engagements and statements of work, tracking data volumes and hosting costs, reviewing invoices, and holding vendors to agreed rates and service levels.
- Support attorneys with case management, including maintaining internal file management systems, organizing case files and pleadings, docketing and tracking key deadlines and hearing dates, and updating internal stakeholders on matter progress.
- Own intake for new matters and third-party legal requests, including logging, triaging, and routing each matter to the right attorney with a clear summary of the claim, the requester, the matter type, and any immediate deadlines.
- Help manage outside counsel relationships and billing records, including matter budgets, accrual tracking, invoice review against Outside Counsel Guidelines, and matter-management hygiene in our billing systems.
- Build and improve the systems behind the work, including intake workflows, response playbooks, matter templates, trackers, escalation paths, and preservation checklists, so that recurring problems are solved structurally rather than absorbed by heroics.
- Support broader litigation and legal-operations projects, including tool implementations, vendor evaluations, and policy rollouts, and assist as needed with other organizational and administrative tasks.
Requirements
- 3+ years experience as a paralegal, legal assistant, or litigation coordinator at a law firm or in-house legal department
- Experience managing a high volume of concurrent matters and deadlines with strong organizational skills and exacting attention to detail
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to correspond directly with outside counsel, vendors, and opposing counsel and to calibrate tone for sensitive or adversarial situations
- Need to have:
- Deep understanding of civil litigation matters, from inception through resolution
- Hands-on experience supporting eDiscovery processes across the EDRM lifecycle, including legal holds and document preservation, collection, processing, review, and production
- Experience working directly with eDiscovery and litigation-support vendors, including scoping statements of work, tracking budgets, and reviewing invoices
- Ability to multi-task and effectively manage competing priorities in a fast-paced startup environment
- Demonstrated discretion and sound judgment when handling confidential and privileged material
- Nice to have:
- Demonstrated AI tool fluency, having used AI to build real workflows rather than as an occasional chatbot, and comfort learning new platforms quickly
Nice to have
- Paralegal certificate, associate's degree in paralegal studies, or bachelor's degree
- Direct experience with eDiscovery review platforms, legal research and docketing databases, document management systems, and legal billing or matter management software
- Experience processing subpoenas, summonses, and other third-party legal requests, including correspondence with opposing counsel and government agencies
