  • Draft, revise, proofread, and file legal documents, including pleadings, motions, discovery requests, subpoenas, correspondence, and court filings.

  • Coordinate discovery, maintain case files, organize exhibits, prepare trial binders, and assist with trial preparation.

  • Communicate with clients, opposing counsel, courts, vendors, and expert witnesses regarding active matters.


Qualifications for the Legal Assistant:



  • 5+ years of experience as a Legal Assistant Paralegal supporting litigation attorneys.

  • Experience with court filings in New York state and/or federal courts.
