Legal Assistant Civil Litigation (Hybrid)

Build You Career at a Firm That Litigates With Purpose

At Betts Law Group, our purpose is to provide justice for the injuries you can’t see. We represent clients in complex civil litigation matters—including sexual assault, sexual harassment, and employment cases—where trust, care, and precision matter deeply.

We are a growing litigation firm known for our preparation, professionalism, and client experience. As we scale, we are building a team of experienced legal professionals who take pride in doing excellent work and want to grow with the firm.

Why This Role Matters

As a Civil Litigation Legal Assistant at BLG, you are a critical part of the litigation engine. You support attorneys through every phase of a case—from intake through resolution—ensuring deadlines are met, filings are accurate, and clients feel supported and informed.

This is not an entry-level role. We are looking for someone with prior litigation experience who can step in, take ownership, and contribute immediately in a fast-moving, high-accountability environment.

• Proofread and finalize legal documents using the firm’s case management system

Calendaring & Scheduling

• Maintain attorney calendars, including hearings, depositions, mediations, meetings, and deadlines
• Coordinate depositions, mediations, and meetings with opposing counsel, court reporters, and vendors
• Communicate scheduling details clearly to clients and internal team members

Client & Attorney Communication

• Serve as a point of contact for clients, answering questions professionally and with empathy
• Communicate proactively with attorneys regarding case status, deadlines, and needs
• Assist with new client intakes and onboarding communications as needed

Administrative & Team Support

• Handle incoming and outgoing mail, scanning, and electronic filing
• Communicate proactively with attorneys regarding case status and issues
• Participate in weekly meetings and provide clear updates
• Provide overflow support for civil litigation intakes and client communications as needed

• Communicate clearly, directly, and professionally
• Take ownership of your work and follow through without being chased
• Care deeply about client experience and dignity
