- Intro: Nelson Mullins, an AmLaw 100 firm, is seeking a Litigation Administrative Assistant to join our collaborative team in our Downtown Los Angeles office. In this role, you’ll play a key part in supporting attorneys and paralegals on a variety of complex commercial, civil, and defense litigation matters. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced professional to provide high-level legal and administrative support while working alongside talented colleagues in a dynamic and supportive environment.
- The Litigation Administrative Assistant will play an active role in assisting with the management of each attorney’s caseload by maintaining attorney calendars, making travel arrangements, and processing monthly expense reports. You will be responsible for preparing, revising, and finalizing correspondence, pleadings, and other legal documents, as well as performing electronic filing (e-filing) in various courts and jurisdictions. You will schedule depositions, mediations, and other client meetings, and communicate with clients as necessary. Experience supporting attorneys through all phases of litigation, including trial preparation and attendance, is preferred. Additional responsibilities include running conflict checks, opening new client/matter engagements, maintaining electronic files, setting up billing requirements for clients, maintaining and updating contacts, assisting with billing and client invoices, and handling other clerical assignments as delegated.
- We are looking for a skilled Litigation Administrative Assistant with at least four years of recent State and Federal litigation experience in a law firm environment. In this role, you’ll thrive in a fast-paced setting where deadlines are tight, and priorities can shift quickly. We value proactive, self-starting professionals who take ownership of their work and enjoy collaborating with attorneys, paralegals, and fellow administrative team members. Strong writing and communication skills are essential, as you’ll regularly interact with colleagues, clients, and attorneys. Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite is required, and experience with document management systems, docketing systems, and billing or time entry programs will make you stand out.
- At Nelson Mullins, we are dedicated to transparent and fair compensation practices. Pay for this position is determined by factors such as experience, skills, and location. Salary/ Wage Range - $75,000 to $100,000 annually. In addition to base pay, employees may be eligible for merit-based raises and benefits such as healthcare, retirement plans and paid time off.
- With more than 1,000 attorneys... (some boilerplate about firm size). This is maybe not needed but could be considered "About the firm". Might be considered not essential but could be included in "About the role"? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The firm description might be considered not boilerplate but could be kept as part of "About the role"? It's not required but we can include as part of About the role.
We need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have content for:
- About the role: introductory paragraph(s) describing role, firm, location, opportunity.
- Responsibilities: list of duties: maintaining calendars, travel arrangements, expense reports, preparing correspondence, pleadings, e-filing, scheduling depositions, mediations, client meetings, communicating with clients, conflict checks, opening new client/matter engagements, maintaining electronic files, setting up billing requirements, maintaining contacts, assisting with billing and invoices, handling clerical assignments.
- Requirements: at least four years of recent State and Federal litigation experience in a law firm environment. Also maybe "Experience supporting attorneys through all phases of litigation, including trial preparation and attendance, is preferred." That's more of a qualification/preferred experience.
- Qualifications: maybe "Experience supporting attorneys through all phases of litigation, including trial preparation and attendance, is preferred." Could be considered qualification.
- Skills: Strong writing and communication skills essential; Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite required; experience with document management systems, docketing systems, billing or time entry programs will make you stand out; proactive, self-starting, take ownership, collaborate; ability to thrive in fast-paced setting, deadlines tight, priorities shift.
- Benefits: merit-based raises and benefits such as healthcare, retirement plans and paid time off.
- Pay: Salary/Wage Range - $75,000 to $100,000 annually. Pay determined by experience, skills, location.
- Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. No schedule info. So we should NOT create a Schedule section.
We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So omit Schedule.
We need to use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Already not.
We need to not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings (none present).
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The firm description about 1,000 attorneys etc might be considered boilerplate? It's not exactly legal boilerplate but could be considered generic firm description. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The firm description is not those categories, but could be considered "About the firm" which might be okay to keep. However, we need to decide if we include it in About the role or maybe separate section? There's no "About the firm" heading in list; we could incorporate into About the role.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the firm size info if we include it. If we omit it, we would be removing substantive info (the firm size). Is that considered substantive? It's about the firm, not the role. Might be considered not essential to the role but still substantive. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep it. Where to place? Could be in About the role paragraph.
Thus About the role will include: Nelson Mullins, an AmLaw 100 firm, is seeking a Litigation Administrative Assistant to join our collaborative team in our Downtown Los Angeles office. In this role, you’ll play a key part in supporting attorneys and paralegals on a variety of complex commercial, civil, and defense litigation matters. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced professional to provide high-level legal and administrative support while working alongside talented colleagues in a dynamic and supportive environment. With more than 1,000 attorneys, policy advisors, e-discovery professionals and other business professionals across offices in California, Colorado, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia, and throughout North Carolina and South Carolina, Nelson Mullins has strong roots in the business community and an appreciation for new directions in the business world.
That seems fine.
Now Responsibilities: list bullet points.
We need to extract all responsibilities sentences.
From text:
- "The Litigation Administrative Assistant will play an active role in assisting with the management of each attorney’s caseload by maintaining attorney calendars, making travel arrangements, and processing monthly expense reports."
- "You will be responsible for preparing, revising, and finalizing correspondence, pleadings, and other legal documents, as well as performing electronic filing (e-filing) in various courts and jurisdictions."
- "You will schedule depositions, mediations, and other client meetings, and communicate with clients as necessary."
- "Experience supporting attorneys through all phases of litigation, including trial preparation and attendance, is preferred." This is more qualification/experience, not responsibility.
- "Additional responsibilities include running conflict checks, opening new client/matter engagements, maintaining electronic files, setting up billing requirements for clients, maintaining and updating contacts, assisting with billing and client invoices, and handling other clerical assignments as delegated."
Thus responsibilities bullet list:
- Assist with management of each attorney’s caseload by maintaining attorney calendars, making travel arrangements, and processing monthly expense reports.
- Prepare, revise, and finalize correspondence, pleadings, and other legal documents; perform electronic filing (e-filing) in various courts and jurisdictions.
- Schedule depositions, mediations, and other client meetings; communicate with clients as necessary.
- Run conflict checks.
- Open new client/matter engagements.
- Maintain electronic files.
- Set up billing requirements for clients.
- Maintain and update contacts.
- Assist with billing and client invoices.
- Handle other clerical assignments as delegated.
We could combine some but keep detail.
Now Requirements: "We are looking for a skilled Litigation Administrative Assistant with at least four years of recent State and Federal litigation experience in a law firm environment."
Also maybe "Experience supporting attorneys through all phases of litigation, including trial preparation and attendance, is preferred." That's more qualification/preferred experience.
We could treat Requirements as the mandatory: at least four years of recent State and Federal litigation experience in a law firm environment.
Qualifications: maybe "Experience supporting attorneys through all phases of litigation, including trial preparation and attendance, is preferred." Also maybe "Proactive, self-starting professionals who take ownership of their work and enjoy collaborating with attorneys, paralegals, and fellow administrative team members." That's more skill/attribute.
But we have Skills section for skills.
Thus:
Requirements (
Requirements
): - At least four years of recent State and Federal litigation experience in a law firm environment.
Qualifications (Qualifications
): maybe list: Experience supporting attorneys through all phases of litigation, including trial preparation and attendance, is preferred. Also maybe "Proactive, self-starting professionals who take ownership of their work and enjoy collaborating with attorneys, paralegals, and fellow administrative team members." That is more of a skill/attribute but could be qualification.
But we need to avoid duplication. Let's see if we can place that under Skills.
Skills: Strong writing and communication skills essential; Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite required; experience with document management systems, docketing systems, and billing or time entry programs will make you stand out; proactive, self-starting, take ownership, collaborate; ability to thrive in fast-paced setting, deadlines tight, priorities shift quickly.
Thus we can put those under Skills.
Qualifications could be just the preferred experience: "Experience supporting attorneys through all phases of litigation, including trial preparation and attendance, is preferred."
Now Benefits: "In addition to base pay, employees may be eligible for merit-based raises and benefits such as healthcare, retirement plans and paid time off."
Thus Benefits bullet list: Merit-based raises; Healthcare; Retirement plans; Paid time off.
Pay: "Pay for this position is determined by factors such as experience, skills, and location. Salary/ Wage Range - $75,000 to $100,000 annually."
Thus Pay paragraph: maybe combine.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
Thus something like:
