Fort Lauderdale, FL
Complex Litigation Legal Assistant – Downtown Fort Lauderdale

An experienced Complex Litigation Legal Assistant is needed in our Downtown Fort Lauderdale office to support attorneys handling high-stakes, sophisticated litigation. This role goes beyond basic administrative support. It requires seasoned litigation experience, advanced knowledge of court procedures, and the ability to manage large, document-intensive cases from inception through trial.

The ideal candidate will have at least seven years of experience in Commercial and Complex Litigation, with proven expertise in case management, discovery, trial preparation, and client support in high-volume, fast-paced environments. Knowledge of Florida state and federal e-filing systems is required, and hands-on experience with E-Discovery platforms, including Relativity, is highly desirable. This position includes paralegal-level responsibilities, and the individual will be expected to track and record their own billable time.

Key Responsibilities

  • Independently prepare, proofread, and finalize complex pleadings, motions, discovery, and trial materials in strict compliance with State and Federal court rules.
  • Oversee all aspects of case management for complex matters, including docketing deadlines, organizing voluminous case files, and maintaining document databases.
  • Manage large-scale discovery and e-discovery projects, including document collection, review, redaction, production, and coordination with outside vendors.
  • Prepare detailed deposition and trial binders, exhibits, witness files, privilege logs, and demonstratives.
  • Provide on-site trial support, including exhibit presentation, jury selection assistance, and coordination of witnesses and experts.
  • Handle client intake and communications with professionalism and discretion, ensuring timely follow-up and accurate documentation.
  • Support attorneys with billing, expense reports, and time entry in 3E, ensuring accuracy and compliance with firm guidelines.
  • Anticipate attorney and case needs to proactively manage shifting priorities under tight deadlines.
    Â

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of hands-on experience in Commercial and Complex Litigation required.
  • Deep familiarity with Florida state and federal litigation procedures and e-filing systems.
  • Experience managing complex discovery and E-Discovery tools (Relativity strongly preferred).
  • Proven ability to handle document-heavy cases and manage multiple deadlines simultaneously.
  • Strong trial preparation and trial support experience.
  • Exceptional organizational skills, detail orientation, and ability to thrive under pressure.
  • Professional communication skills with the ability to interface with clients, courts, experts, and opposing counsel.

​​​​​​​ Benefits

We recognize that top talent deserves competitive rewards. Our comprehensive benefits package includes:

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance with firm-paid employee coverage options.
  • 401(k) retirement plan with discretionary firm matching contributions.
  • Paid time off (PTO), including vacation, sick leave, and firm-recognized holidays.
  • Life and disability insurance fully paid by the firm.
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for wellness and support resources.
