• Coordinating with courts, opposing counsel, vendors, and third parties to gather information and keep cases moving forward.
• Maintaining organized, accurate, and confidential client and case files within the firm's case management system.
• Drafting routine correspondence and supporting attorneys with case preparation, filings, and administrative tasks as needed.
• Handling incoming calls and inquiries professionally, routing matters appropriately, and keeping attorneys informed of priority items.

✅ What You'll Need:

• 3+ years of experience as a legal assistant in a law firm setting — any practice area considered.
• Familiarity with legal case management software such as Clio, Filevine, MyCase, or similar platforms.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple cases and deadlines simultaneously without losing accuracy.
• Excellent written and verbal English communication skills — you communicate clearly and professionally with clients, courts, and opposing counsel.
• Proactive, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently in a fast-paced remote environment.
• Bonus: experience with e-filing systems and litigation support processes.
• Bonus: experience across multiple practice areas or a willingness to adapt quickly to a firm's specific area of law.
• To be considered for this role, you must be currently based in Latin America (LATAM) or Europe.

💼 What We Offer:

• 💸 Competitive salary in USD — paid consistently every month, no matter where you are.
• 🌴 10 paid vacation days per year plus all U.S. federal holidays.
