Legal Jobs in Ca

About us

H&A Law Office, PC is a growing plaintiff-side employment litigation firm representing employees in wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wage-and-hour, disability leave, and whistleblower matters throughout California.

We are a fast-paced, litigation-focused firm handling cases in state and federal court, as well as arbitration. We are looking for a sharp, organized, and proactive Litigation Paralegal who wants to grow with a firm that is expanding aggressively and building a strong litigation team.

We are looking for someone with substantial experience who can hit the ground running and can support two attorneys with an approximate case load of 50-60 cases (some in litigation, some in prelitigation).

We pride ourselves in working up a smaller amount of cases in detail, versus working on hundreds of cases with minimal effort. We are not a demand letter mill. We provide white glove service to each client, and we only take on real cases. For someone with the right experience, the case load should be extremely manageable, and you will have many resources at your disposal to make your job easy.

What You'll Be Doing

• Draft and format pleadings, discovery, subpoenas, proofs of service and correspondence
• E-file in California state and federal courts
• Calendar litigation deadlines (court days, motion cutoffs, discovery timelines)
• Assist with discovery shells, create table of contents and authorities for motions
• Prepare deposition notices and coordinate court reporters
• Organize exhibits and maintain digital case files
• Conduct initial intake follow-ups
• Communicate with clients regarding document collection
• Assist with medical and employment record subpoenas

Why You Should Work With Us

• Opportunity for growth and increased responsibility
• Potential for health benefits after 90-day probationary period
• Performance-based raises tied to contribution and efficiency
• 100% remote work
• Tech-savvy firm that uses solutions to make everyday tasks easier
• Good work life balance
• Compensation starting at $30/hour+ depending on experience

Mandatory Minimum Qualifications

• Must have at least 1 year of prior experience working as a litigation paralegal
• Must have familiarity with California e-filing requirements
• Must have familiarity with State Court litigation deadlines; Federal Court experience preferred, but not necessary (will train)
• Must have prior experience requesting medical records, sending out subpoenas
• Must have strong formatting skills (word, PDF editing, document assembly)
• Must have experience with case management systems (eg-Filevine, Clio, etc.)
• Must have prior experience organizing case files
• Must have excellent organizational skills and be detailed oriented
• Must be a resident of California

Please do not apply if you do not have prior paralegal experience at a litigation firm. We are looking for someone experienced who can hit the ground running with minimal oversight and training.
