Litigation Coordinator

Strategic Legal Practices • Los Angeles, CA

3d • Onsite

About The Position

Strategic Legal Practices, APC (SLP) is a high-volume consumer protection and lemon law litigation firm committed to holding manufacturers accountable on behalf of California consumers. We are seeking an experienced Litigation Coordinator to lead the team responsible for case resolution operations — the department that manages everything from the point a matter is heading toward resolution through its final close.
This role requires someone who has worked in California civil litigation long enough to understand that the final stages of a case carry some of the highest procedural stakes. Missed deadlines, incomplete documentation, and miscommunication at this stage have real consequences — for clients, for attorneys, and for the firm. The Litigation Coordinator is the person who makes sure none of that happens.
You will own a defined set of resolution-stage functions, lead a small team with clearly defined responsibilities, and work in close coordination with supervising attorneys. The right candidate brings substantive California litigation experience, a methodical approach to deadline management, and the communication skills to represent the firm professionally with opposing counsel, courts, and vendors.

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in California civil litigation, with meaningful exposure to case resolution, post-resolution compliance, court filings, and procedural deadlines
• Working knowledge of California civil procedure at the level required to recognize a deadline, understand its consequences, and act without waiting to be prompted
• Direct experience managing or coordinating court-ordered obligations or compliance-driven workflows with hard deadlines and documented outcomes
• Experience coordinating mediations or settlement conferences in a litigation environment, including professional communication with opposing counsel and external neutrals
• Experience preparing or coordinating cost recovery documentation following case resolution in California state or federal court
• Proven ability to supervise or direct litigation support staff, including delegating work and holding others accountable to timelines
• Strong professional writing skills — you are drafting correspondence that goes to opposing counsel and courts; it needs to be accurate, well-constructed, and reflect the firm’s standards
• High organizational capacity with demonstrated ability to manage a large number of concurrent matters without gaps, dropped items, or reactive deadline management
• Proficiency with legal case management platforms, document management systems, and Microsoft Office

Nice To Haves

• Prior experience at a plaintiff-side consumer protection, lemon law, or high-volume civil litigation firm
• Familiarity with California’s Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act or comparable consumer protection statutes
• Experience with e-filing platforms such as File & ServeXpress, One Legal, or equivalent
• Bilingual in English and Spanish — a meaningful plus given client communication needs on the team
• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree, or ABA-approved paralegal certificate
