• Manage trial calendars, discovery deadlines, and scheduling for motions, mediations, and depositions.
• Communicate professionally with clients, opposing counsel, court personnel, witnesses, experts, and legal service vendors.

• Strong organizational, multitasking, and project-management abilities.
• High attention to detail with a proactive, self-directed work style.
• Ability to perform well under pressure and meet strict deadlines.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-volume litigation environment.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Professional, team-oriented law office environment.
• Direct collaboration with experienced attorneys.
• Well-organized systems and strong administrative support.
• Convenient Palm Harbor location.
