Our client, a highly respected Delaware law firm in downtown Wilmington, DE, is seeking an experienced Legal Assistant to join its Corporate Litigation team. This is a full-time, permanent, direct-hire role supporting the department in a team-based setting rather than working for one individual attorney. The position begins with a 90-day in-office training period, after which it transitions to a hybrid schedule with 2 remote days and 3 in-office days per week. Standard hours are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with overtime as needed for litigation deadlines. A full-time schedule is only 35 hours, and excellent benefits are provided.

  • Coordinate schedules, meetings, conference calls, travel, court appearances, and deposition logistics
  • Assist with trial preparation, deposition support, exhibit organization, bates numbering, indexing, coding, page checking, proofreading, and document production
  • Prepare and maintain case files, reports, litigation databases, and case tracking materials
  • Convert, blackline, cross-reference, and organize PDFs and related materials using Adobe Acrobat

  • Prepare expense reports and assist with billing and invoicing support
  • Communicate professionally with attorneys, clients, co-counsel, opposing counsel, court personnel, and internal staff
  • Support additional legal and administrative functions as needed in a fast-paced, deadline-driven litigation practice

Requirements

  • 3-5+ years of experience as a Legal Assistant in a litigation practice group within a law firm
  • Experience supporting corporate litigation, commercial litigation, chancery litigation, bankruptcy litigation, or other sophisticated litigation matters strongly preferred
  • Strong Delaware filing experience in state and federal courts preferred
  • Experience preparing and formatting pleadings, briefs, motions, memoranda, and other court filings
  • Strong calendaring, docketing, deadline management, and organizational skills
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, including Word, Outlook, Excel, and PowerPoint
  • Experience with CM/ECF, PACER, File & Serve Xpress, Adobe Acrobat, iManage, and related legal tools strongly preferred
  • Strong attention to detail, professionalism, responsiveness, communication skills, and team orientation
