Seasoned Legal Secretary / Assistant
If you want to be part of high-stakes, nationally recognized trial work —this is that opportunity.
This isn't a typical legal support role. You'll work alongside elite trial attorneys on complex, high-profile litigation, helping drive cases that deliver real results for real people.
We're partnering with a top-tier plaintiff trial firm known for record-setting verdicts and settlements across the country—and they're looking for a seasoned Legal Secretary / Assistant to join their Houston team.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Work on industry-shaping, headline-making cases
- Be part of a fast-paced, trial-focused environment where your work truly matters
- Join a firm with a reputation for winning big and investing in their people
- Strong team culture with high expectations and high rewards
What You'll Be Doing
- Manage complex attorney calendars, travel, and scheduling in a fast-moving environment
- Handle state & federal e-filing, docketing deadlines, and trial prep
- Prepare and format legal documents, correspondence, and filings
- Coordinate depositions, hearings, and trial logistics
- Support attorneys from case inception through trial
- Serve as a key point of contact—screening calls, coordinating communications, and keeping everything running smoothly
What They're Looking For
- 7+ years as a litigation legal secretary (plaintiff PI experience preferred)
- Strong experience with e-filing, calendaring, and trial preparation
- Ability to manage multiple complex cases independently
- Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail
- Proactive, responsive, and thrives in a high-performance environment
- Advanced MS Word skills + strong document formatting ability
Compensation & Benefits
- Top-of-market base salary + discretionary bonuses
- 100% employer-paid medical (employee-only)
- 401(k) with firm contribution
- Generous PTO + paid holidays
- Full suite of benefits (HSA, FSA, disability, life insurance, etc.)
- Professional development + growth opportunities
The Right Fit
This is ideal for someone who:
- Loves the energy of trial work
- Wants to be part of a winning, high-performance team
- Takes pride in being indispensable to attorneys and case outcomes
Location
- Houston, TX (full-time, onsite)
If you're looking for a role where your work directly contributes to meaningful, high-impact litigation, this is one worth exploring.
