Litigation Support Assistant

Litigation Support Assistant

We are seeking an organized, dependable, and tech-savvy Litigation Support Assistant to join our legal team in Metairie, LA. This full-time, entry-level position offers hands-on experience with deposition and trial preparation, evidence organization, legal focus groups, and courtroom exhibits. It is well suited to a recent graduate or motivated professional interested in law, communications, psychology, research, media, or litigation strategy. Legal experience is not required; training will be provided.

Responsibilities may include assisting with depositions, trials, meetings, and case-management activities; reviewing and summarizing police reports, camera footage, medical records, and other case materials; processing video, audio, image, and document files; preparing presentations; and creating and maintaining trial exhibits. The assistant will also recruit and screen focus-group participants, maintain related databases and event records, coordinate Zoom and in-person meetings, compile and analyze data, edit event video, and coordinate case-related schedules and logistics. Confidentiality and professional handling of sensitive information are essential.

Qualifications

Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States, be able to commute reliably to our Metairie office, and have at least one year of Mac OS experience. All other qualifications are preferred rather than required, including a bachelor’s degree; customer service or client-facing experience; familiarity with Microsoft Office, Dropbox, Adobe creative and video apps, basic website and database management, social media outreach or advertising; and experience with research, writing, editing, media production or event coordination.

The ideal candidate is a quick learner with strong communication skills, sound judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently while managing multiple deadlines. Our collaborative team values clear communication, mutual support, curiosity, initiative, professionalism, and a positive attitude. Candidates do not need to meet every preferred qualification to be considered.

Compensation and work environment

The position offers starting pay of $23 per hour or more, depending on experience and qualifications, along with health insurance, a retirement plan, paid leave, performance-based bonuses, and professional training. An initial three-month performance review may lead to increased compensation and expanded responsibilities. Candidate must be available for occasional overnight travel for depositions, trials or related events and for regular scheduled evening focus groups.

This is primarily an on-site position involving confidential legal materials and time-sensitive case preparation. Some scheduling flexibility can be offered. Limited remote work may become available after the employee establishes a successful record of performance.
