In-House Litigation Paralegal
Robert Half Legal
Description
A growing legal department with a logistics company in Irvine is seeking an in-house litigation paralegal.
RHL placed a junior paralegal with this team last year who is thriving!
This litigation paralegal will be responsible for in-house litigation, for defense-side general liability and employment law cases
Responsibilities of Role:
o Communicate with outside counsel [professionally]
o Legal holds – initiating in CasePoint (can train on)
o Subpoenas – responding to them (downloading and sending off documents)
o eDiscovery – they have a platform, so not a big focus, but would be a nice-to-have
o Investigations – asking high level questions, obtaining documents from accidents / internal teams
o No drafting legal documents
· Software: Bright Flag Workspaces (legal spend tracker, outside counsel submits invoices / billing) and Case Point (case management, legal holds, eDiscovery), plus MS Office Suite.
Pay is contingent upon experience with the duties above.
Details of Role:
· Hours: Start time at 9am at the latest but as early at 7:30am.
· Profile that would be a fit:
o Someone who takes ownership of projects, who wants to take charge on what they are working on.
o Someone who proactively thinks ahead to next steps, and know the why behind what they are doing.
o Someone who is willing to develop new systems and is okay with change. The mentality should be, “we tried this process and it didn’t work, let’s try something else!”
o Someone with the autonomy and honesty to work remotely
Perks of Company:
· Lots of ownership and growth. For someone who is a go-getter, this is a great place to be!
· The leadership team in the legal department (GC and AGC) are kind, down to earth, trusting, and have high standards of excellence! Plus, they love to have fun!
· Company is rolling out some aggressive ESG goals (100% landfill waste elimination by 2030!).
This company is targeting the new paralegal to start the first week of March.

1. Civil litigation experience, familiar with litigation process of a case (intake to trial) and knowing what questions to ask about a case - cannot train on this!
2. Familiarity with property damage, auto accidents, PI, employment law would be great!
