About The Position

Strategic Legal Practices, APC (SLP) is a leading plaintiff-side consumer protection litigation firm headquartered in Century City, Los Angeles. We specialize in lemon law and consumer advocacy, fighting on behalf of clients against some of the largest manufacturers in the country. With over 100 team members across legal, operations, data, and client services, SLP moves fast, litigates aggressively, and wins. We are growing — and we're looking for professionals who match our standard. This is not a traditional administrative role. The Legal Case Manager / Executive Assistant provides direct operational and litigation support to a Partner of the firm, functioning as a critical extension of Partner-level leadership on active consumer protection matters. The right candidate brings legal case management expertise, precise deadline discipline, and a high-output work ethic to a demanding, fast-paced environment. This role requires someone who can own their workload without hand-holding — drafting professional legal correspondence, managing complex court calendars, tracking multi-deadline litigation timelines, and keeping cases moving from filing through resolution.

Requirements

3–5 years of experience in a law firm as a legal assistant, case manager, paralegal, or executive assistant — law firm experience is non-negotiable
Demonstrated experience managing litigation deadlines and court calendars in a high-volume environment
Proficiency drafting legal correspondence, pleadings, and litigation support documents
Strong Microsoft Outlook calendaring and scheduling skills
Exceptional attention to detail — deadline misses are not an option in this role
Ability to multitask and prioritize independently in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Outlook, Word, Excel)
Professional discretion when handling confidential client and litigation matters

Nice To Haves

Experience in consumer protection, lemon law, personal injury, or civil litigation
Familiarity with California state and federal court e-filing procedures (CM/ECF, One Legal)
Experience with case management software or legal docketing platforms

Monitor court dockets daily and maintain a master litigation calendar covering all deadlines, hearings, depositions, CMCs, MSJ deadlines, and statutory lemon law timelines
Draft, prepare, and coordinate e-filing of pleadings, motions, discovery requests and responses, subpoenas, and related litigation documents
Manage case logistics including deposition scheduling, vendor coordination, court communications, and service of process
Maintain organized, audit-ready electronic case files and trial preparation materials
Manage the Partner's Outlook calendar with precision — scheduling depositions, hearings, internal meetings, and client calls while proactively resolving conflicts
Triage and prioritize the Partner's inbox, draft professional correspondence, and ensure timely responses on all action items
Track and follow up on open action items across cases and matters to ensure nothing falls through the cracks
Coordinate across internal departments (scheduling, docketing, intake) to ensure seamless case progression
Communicate professionally with courts, opposing counsel, clients, and third-party vendors on behalf of the Partner

Ensure court filing deadlines are met without exception — proactively flagging conflicts or risks well in advance
