The Role

A well-established law firm is seeking a Litigation Legal Assistant to join its litigation support team. This role provides dedicated administrative and file management support to lawyers and paralegals working on high-volume litigation matters, with a strong focus on debt recovery work. The position is suited to a detail-oriented legal assistant who enjoys process-driven work, managing deadlines, and keeping files organized and moving efficiently through the litigation lifecycle.

This is a team-based environment where the Legal Assistant plays a key role in coordinating documents, tracking timelines, and supporting procedural steps rather than managing billing or overall practice management. The role is ideal for someone who is comfortable handling repeatable litigation processes, working with established systems and workflows, and contributing to a fast-paced practice.

The successful candidate will be someone who can work independently, follow direction well, and maintain a high level of accuracy while juggling multiple files. A hybrid work arrangement is available.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with lawyers and paralegals to understand workflow priorities and anticipate deadlines.
• Maintain organized digital files and accurate matter status tracking.
• Prepare, format, and edit legal correspondence and documents.
• Communicate with clients regarding file status, required documentation, court processes, and next steps under direction.
• Coordinate document production, including compiling, indexing, and binding court materials.
• File court documents in accordance with procedural rules and deadlines.

Requirements

• Completion of a recognized Legal Assistant program or equivalent experience.
• Minimum 5 years’ experience as a legal assistant in a BC litigation practice.
• Experience in foreclosure or debt recovery litigation is an asset.
• Strong knowledge of litigation procedures and court rules.
• Professional communication skills and confidence interacting with clients.
• Excellent organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple deadlines.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, and document management systems.
• Strong written communication and proofreading skills.
• Client-service mindset and commitment to quality work.
