If you want to be part of high-stakes, nationally recognized trial work—this is that opportunity.

This isn’t a typical legal support role. You’ll work alongside elite trial attorneys on complex, high-profile litigation, helping drive cases that deliver real results for real people.

We’re partnering with a top-tier plaintiff trial firm known for record-setting verdicts and settlements across the country—and they’re looking for a seasoned Legal Secretary / Assistant to join their Houston team.

💼 Why This Role Stands Out

Work on industry-shaping, headline-making cases
Be part of a fast-paced, trial-focused environment where your work truly matters
Join a firm with a reputation for winning big and investing in their people
Strong team culture with high expectations and high rewards

🎯 What You’ll Be Doing

Manage complex attorney calendars, travel, and scheduling in a fast-moving environment
Handle state & federal e-filing, docketing deadlines, and trial prep
Prepare and format legal documents, correspondence, and filings
Coordinate depositions, hearings, and trial logistics
Support attorneys from case inception through trial
Serve as a key point of contact—screening calls, coordinating communications, and keeping everything running smoothly

What They’re Looking For

7+ years as a litigation legal secretary (plaintiff PI experience preferred)
Strong experience with e-filing, calendaring, and trial preparation
Ability to manage multiple complex cases independently
Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail
Proactive, responsive, and thrives in a high-performance environment
Advanced MS Word skills + strong document formatting ability

💰 Compensation & Benefits

Top-of-market base salary + discretionary bonuses
100% employer-paid medical (employee-only)
401(k) with firm contribution
Generous PTO + paid holidays
Full suite of benefits (HSA, FSA, disability, life insurance, etc.)
Professional development + growth opportunities

The Right Fit

This is ideal for someone who:

Loves the energy of trial work
Wants to be part of a winning, high-performance team
Takes pride in being indispensable to attorneys and case outcomes

📍 Location

Houston, TX (full-time, onsite)

👉 If you’re looking for a role where your work directly contributes to meaningful, high-impact litigation, this is one worth exploring.
