Mission Recruiting, Los Angeles, California, United States, 90079
Downtown Los Angeles | Civil Defense and Subrogation | Up to $110,000
Downtown Los Angeles
is where serious litigators build lasting careers, and this opportunity places you at the core of a high-performing civil defense team. Mission Recruiting is proud to represent a respected boutique firm seeking a
Senior Litigation Paralegal
and Executive Assistant to serve as the trusted right-hand to a senior attorney.
This is a pivotal, high-responsibility desk. You will support a senior attorney and two additional attorneys while managing 60 to 70 active litigation matters. Success in this role means more than strong clerical skills. It requires command of
California civil litigation
procedures, confidence in independent filings, and the ability to anticipate needs before they arise.
Located in the heart of
Downtown Los Angeles , the office offers daily collaboration in a professional, mentorship-driven environment surrounded by top-tier dining, cultural landmarks, and convenient transit options. This is ideal for someone who values structure, in-person teamwork, and long-term stability.
