Description We are looking for an experienced Legal Assistant to join a busy insurance defense and civil litigation practice in San Antonio, Texas.

Responsibilities:

• Support as many as three attorneys with administrative and litigation-related tasks across an active caseload.

• Oversee calendars and monitor critical dates, including hearings, depositions, filings, and other case events.

• Arrange depositions and coordinate scheduling with counsel, clients, court reporters, and additional parties involved in each matter.

• Organize incoming discovery and case documents, including downloading, sorting, and maintaining records for easy retrieval.

• Prepare and submit electronic filings, assist with service of pleadings, and handle routine litigation correspondence.

• Maintain accurate electronic case files so documents are properly stored, updated, and accessible to the legal team.

• Manage phone calls, written communications, and interactions with clients, attorneys, and opposing counsel in a thorough and attentive manner.

• Handle invoice processing and provide general secretarial support to assist with daily office operations.

• Track multiple matters at once and respond proactively to shifting priorities and approaching deadlines. Requirements • At least 5 years of experience as a Legal Assistant or Legal Secretary within insurance defense litigation.

• Practical knowledge of civil litigation processes, including e-filing, discovery coordination, service procedures, and deposition scheduling.

• Strong organizational ability with proven success balancing multiple deadlines in a fast-paced environment.

• Excellent attention to detail along with effective written and verbal communication skills.
